  1. KINE 4565The burden of injury and sources of injury data

  2. This week • go over types of injury data available in Canada and around the world • Some examples from the US, CIHI, and CHIRPP • Discussion of strengths and weaknesses • student presentations

  3. Sources of injury data • Injury data are available from many different sources in Canada and around the world • Some data are collected routinely, while others are cause or population-specific • In general, routinely collected data have less detailed information, while data gathered specifically have more information

  4. Sources of injury data in Canada • Canadian Institute for Health Information • Routinely gathers information about all hospitalizations in Canada • Coding in based on the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) tenth version • Gives general description of age, gender, diagnosis, broad cause of injury • No specific information on protective equipment, etc.

  5. Sources of injury data in Canada (continued) • The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) collects data on all Emergency Department visits in Ontario • Also coded using ICD-10 • Provides a population-based estimate of ED visits for injury

  6. Sources of injury data in Canada (continued) • The Workers Compensation Board (or equivalent) in each province keeps track of claims for injured workers • Only includes injuries where the worker makes a claim • Only includes legal workers • Underestimates prevalence of work-related injuries

  7. Sources of injury data in Canada (continued) • Other injury-specific data are also availablee.g., water-related incidents, the Red Cross,

  8. Sources of injury data around the world • The world health organization tries to report on injury deaths and hospitalizations around the world • Data from some countries more reliable than others • Allows ranking of causes of death and disability
