BACKGROUND Hospital discharge data are used for occupational injury surveillance, but observed hospitalisation trends are affected by trends in healthcare practices and workers' compensation coverage that may increasingly impair ascertainment of minor injuries relative to severe injuries. The objectives of this study were to (1) describe the development of a severe injury definition for surveil...

BACKGROUND Administrative or quality improvement registries may or may not contain the elements needed for investigations by trauma researchers. International Classification of Diseases Program for Injury Categorisation (ICDPIC), a statistical program available through Stata, is a powerful tool that can extract injury severity scores from ICD-9-CM codes. We conducted a validation study for use ...

We report a new clinically relevant model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury in a 10-day-old rat pup. Bilateral carotid artery occlusion and 8% hypoxia (1 to 15 mins, BCAO-H) was induced with varying degrees of injury (mild, moderate, severe), which was quantified using magnetic resonance imaging including diffusion-weighted and T2-weighted imaging at 24 h and 21/28 days. We developed a magnet...

Recent studies suggest that advances in rear seat occupant protection are trailing while frontal crash prevention technologies have disproportionately improved front safety. Therefore, the first objective of this study is to identify safest for children by estimating injury severity position using current data. The second demonstrate Level-2 and above (i.e., L2+) AVs will be significantly diffe...

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. Methods: a cross-sectional study, conducted from June 2018 August 2019. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes was used classify injury. A significant value set at p<0.05. Results: total 212 patients were included, whom 35.8% evolved into an Patient...

conclusions m30 levels were higher in cvhb patients compared to healthy controls. however, m30 levels were similar in the mild and moderate stages of fibrosis, so they did not indicate the severity of underlying fibrotic or inflammatory processes in cvhb patients. results the mean ages of patients and controls were 39.7 and 45.7 years, respectively, and 35% of the controls and 52% of the patien...

Aim: To analyse the relationship between the severity recurrence of old medical injury in exercise and exercise intensity effectively. Method: Carry on the analysis of 4000 students, being from different sports institute who are medically injured from January 2015 to December 2015, and make a detailed research for the relationship between the severity recurrence of old medical injury in exercis...

Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) has been the benchmark of mortality risk in trauma centers for over 30 years. TRISS utilizes the Injury Severity Score (ISS) as an index of anatomical injury. This study investigated the efficacy of a new type of index of anatomical injury called the ICD-derived Injury Severity Score (ICISS) compared to the ISS using a logistic regression analysis and a ...

This study provides an empirical analysis of the injury severity outcomes maritime accidents by exploring influential factors for two underlying states: injury-free state and injury-prone state. The former may reflect generation mechanism with limited potential to result in outcomes, whereas, latter represent when accident falls into category. To account possible presence these regimes, a zero-...
