Hospitalisations and deaths due to unintentional cutting or piercing injuries at home amongst young and middle-aged New Zealanders
2011, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Globally, unintentional injury is a leading source of morbidity and a significant contributor to mortality. Several reports have identified the home as the commonest location for injuries resulting in hospitalisation and second to road as the location for injury deaths.6,7,11,14 In the US, it is estimated that 44% of injuries requiring medical treatment occur in and around the home.3
The effects of health status, distress, alcohol and medicinal drug use on subsequent motor vehicle injuries
2008, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :However, a major value of the survey is the availability of health-related variables that have not typically been examined as potential risk factors of MVC injuries. Relevant variables available in the survey, that have been found to affect MVC injuries, included control variables of age, sex, immigration status and four risk factors of binge drinking, health status, distress, and psychotropic medication use (Alvarez et al., 2001; Bell et al., 2000; Braver and Trempel, 2004; Broyles et al., 2003; Cherpitel, 1993; Chipman, 1995; Ellinwood and Heatherly, 1985; Fife et al., 1984; Koepsell et al., 1994; Kypri et al., 2002; Lagarde et al., 2004; Langley and McLoughlin, 1989; McLeod et al., 2003; Sagberg, 2006; Selzer and Vinokur, 1974; Selzer et al., 1968; Singleton et al., 2004; Tavris et al., 2001; Vaa et al., 2003; Vingilis and MacDonald, 2002; Vinglis and Wilk, 2007; Walsh et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2000). These variables could affect exposure; for example, males drive more than females and therefore are at greater risk of being involved in a MVC (Chipman et al., 1992, 1993).
A comparison of self-reported motor vehicle collision injuries compared with official collision data: An analysis of age and sex trends using the Canadian National Population Health Survey and Transport Canada data
2008, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :A related issue is the sampling differences associated with studying clinical versus general populations. Injury data are generally based on samples of persons who presented at emergency rooms and/or have been hospitalized (Cherpital, 1998; Langley and McLoughlin, 1989; Longo et al., 2000; Meropol et al., 1995; Stoduto et al., 1993; Tavris et al., 2001) or on MVC reports (Abdel-Aty and Abdelwahab, 2000; Transport Canada, 2005; Valent et al., 2002; Zhang et al., 2000), although occasionally, self-reports from population-based surveys have been used (e.g., Chipman, 1995; Millar, 1995). Data from hospital or police data are believed to underreport incidence (Caroll, 1971; Langley, 2004; Ozanne-Smith and Haworth, 1993; Vingilis, 1983) and have the potential to produce biased estimates, as the populations from which the statistics are drawn only involve individuals in reported collisions or who received treatment in a hospital.
