Workshop: Injury Severity Classification and burden of disability measurement
Saturday 12th November 2022, Time: 11:40-12:40 CET, Beta 1
Organisers:
- EUPHA Injury Prevention & Safety Promotion
- EUPHA Public Health Epidemiology
- EUPHA Public Health Monitoring & Reporting
- EUPHA Public Health Economics
Abstract: A wide variety of measures are available to track outcomes after injury in various health domains. Reaching consensus is an important step in benchmarking of outcomes across institutions and injury types to improve quality and advance the field of injury care. Modern, validated measures that are feasible and usable in both research and clinical contexts are needed to facilitate the improvement of quality and comparability of research.
The workshop aims to discuss trends and variation of injury burden, which is critical to health system planning. The high human and societal costs as well as inequalities of injury mortality and burden will be highlighted based on comparisons with long-term trends. The workshop will discuss the latest developments in injury severity classification and disability measurement. The most efficient measures to calculate the valid burden of injuries will be presented and compara tive measurements across EU countries will be promoted. Limitations of injury classifications and factors introducing uncertainty and potential bias in estimation of disability, will be identified.
The workshop will contribute to the identification of evidence-informed tools and measurements of injury burden.
