  1. Functional Outcomes 3 months after Injury The role of pre-injury socio-demographic, health, & injury characteristics Prospective Outcomes of Injury Study (POIS)New Zealand Injury Prevention Research Unit

  2. Drivers for POIS study • Injury outcome studies have tended to collect limited pre-injury characteristics • Focus on narrow range of: • injury types • predictors • outcomes • Restricted to high threat to life injuries

  3. Methods • ACC entitlement claimants (N=2856) • 5 regions • 18-64 years • NZ residents/citizens • Excl: sensitive claimants • 4 interviews • 3, 5, 12 & 24 months Auckland City ManukauCity Gisborne Otago Southland

  4. POIS Primary outcomes of interest • Function: EQ-5D • Disabiity: WHO-DAS • Return to work

  5. Mobility The EQ-5D 1 – I have no problems with self-care 2 – I have some problems washing or dressing myself 3 – I am unable to wash or dress myself Self-care Usual Activities Pain or Discomfort 1 – I have no pain or discomfort 2 – I have moderate pain or discomfort 3 – I have extreme pain or discomfort Anxiety or Depression

  9. Prevalence of any problems

  10. Socio-demographic (ORs)

  11. Health & disability (ORs)

  12. Injury, health (ORs)

  13. Summary • Substantial portions of participants continued to have adverse outcomes three months after their injury • Key pervasive factors predicting adverse outcomes were: being female, prior chronic illness, injuries to multiple body regions, being hospitalized for injury, self-perceived threat to life and threat of disability, and difficulty accessing health
