Objective
Prepare a system of morbidity and mortality indicators for traffic accidents, to propose its implementation in Ecuador, in order to improve the processes for collecting and recording road safety information in the country.
Materials and Methods
Qualitative systematic review of scientific articles published in journals indexed in the main databases (Scopus, PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Google Scholer), on traffic accidents from 1995 to 2015. The information collected went through 4 phases review.
Results
84 indicators were selected, grouped into nine dimensions: accident rate, morbidity, mortality, temporality, geospatial, socio-demographic, vehicle fleet, impact on public health, types and causes.
Conclusions
An effective management of road safety requires that each country have an effective and institutionalized system of indicators that allows the collection, analysis and management of information in a fast and timely manner, framed in the field of scientific research, to disseminate to the community and organizations. responsible for road safety, with a view to adopting preventive and corrective measures. Therefore, it is recommended that the competent road safety agencies of the country incorporate the system of indicators developed in this research, which will allow them to have a reliable data registration system.
