Aspects épidémiologiques et cliniques des accidents du travail avec incapacité permanente partielle : à propos de 221 cas colligés

Abstract

Work-related Accidents at work (WA) are common in Burkina Faso and around the world. Their occurrence is often followed by serious consequences for the individual, the community and the employer, and in some cases causing sequelae that must determine the rate of permanent partial disability (PPD). The after effects of WA are poorly documented in our context, hence the importance of this study which aims to study the epidemiological and clinical features of WA / PPD reported in Ouagadougou the last 5 years. The study was cross-sectional and analytical. It occurred from 15 September through 15 December 2017 in the
Ouagadougou Regional Office of the National Social Security. We collected all useable records of work-related accidents with Permanent Partial Disability WA / PPD that occurred during the 2012-2016 period.
The descriptive findings were presented under univariate and bivariate form. The sample consists of 221 cases of WA / PPD extracted from reported WA files in Ouagadougou, which rate is 4.49% (221/4922). The sample consisted of 54 women (24.43%) and 167 men (75.57%). The average age is 40.09 ± 8.8 years (16 - 62 years). Cases of accidents are more predominant in the sector of "community services, social services and personal services" (38.46%). Employees are the main victims of WA / PPD (67.42%). Track accidents represent the main claims (62%). They occur in the morning between 6 am and 8 am (45.25%) and transport vehicle is the main causal material (64.71%). The WA / PPD caused limb fractures (48.88%) and resulted in 110 cases of functional impotence (49%), and an average loss of 103 work days (3 - 848 days). WA / PPD prevention should include modules on road safety.
