- The epidemiology of admitted home injuries during 2018-2022: data from the European Injury Data-basePublication . JORGE SILVA ALVES, TATIANA DANIELA; Pitidis, A.; Papadakaki, M.; Chaffard, M.; Paget, M.; Johan, L.; Giustini, M.Background/Objectives: Injuries are a major public health concern, particularly for vulnerable populations, affecting healthcare systems and victims' lives. Home injuries warrant special attention since homes, despite being considered safe, may require environmental modifications and safety awareness. This study aims to better understand circumstances leading to hospital admissions from home injuries. Methods: a cross-sectional study analyzed data collected through the national injury surveillance system from European countries registered in the European Injury Database, from 2018-2022. Associations were assessed using Pearson's chi-squared tests and logistic regression with odds ratios (OR), considering a 5% significance level (p<0.05). Results: The proportion of home injuries occurred was higher in the vulnerable groups, up to 14 years old (22.6%) and in the aged groups, > 65 years (30.1%), these differences were statistically significant (p<0,001). Home injuries in men accounted for 54.8%-61.8% of episodes across all age groups. Around 56.2% of injuries mechanism was due to fall. The probability of being admitted due to home injuries was higher in the older group (75+) [OR=5.6, 95% [5.5, 5,7], in men [OR=1.12, 95% [1.12, 1.13], due to poisoning [OR=8.1, 95% [7.5, 8,8] and during spring and winter seasons. Conclusions: These results show the need for prevention measures adapted to the home reality, and for raising awareness especially among the oldest and poisonings exposition. Therefore, continued study of this topic appears useful for designing prevention interventions as well as for preparing the response at different levels of care.
- Injury Insights at a Glance: Exploring EU and WHO Healthcare Data Through an Interactive DashboardPublication . Giustini, M.; Alessio, P.; Carannante, Anna; Nijman, S.; Valkenberg, H.; JORGE SILVA ALVES, TATIANA DANIELA; Fian, Tabea; Kjærgaard, Kristian; IDB-FDS Reference GroupIssue. The dashboard satisfies the need to access the European Injury Database (EU-IDB) in an intuitive and easy way to provide standardized cross-national data on injury causes and circumstances from hospital emergency departments (ED) in Europe. This unique surveillance system supports evidence-based injury prevention through two complementary approaches: the comprehensive Full Data Set (IDB-FDS), which captures detailed external circumstances, and the streamlined Minimum Data Set (IDB-MDS), which provides population-based indicators. Description of the problem. An interactive dashboard has been developed by the Austrian Road Safety Board (KfV, Vienna) on behalf of EuroSafe to facilitate the analysis and visualization of data from the EU-IDB, specifically focusing on the aggregated MDS cases. The application is publicly accessible at https://wemospatrick-kfv-dashboard-main-bj1eya.streamlit.app/ site. The tool enables dynamic querying of the data, supporting the identification of patterns, temporal trends, and distributions by injury type, age group, sex, place of occurrence, and other relevant factors . Results. This dashboard provides injury and mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants per year and the European Core Health Indicators (ECHI), both at the level of individual countries and for the EU27 as a whole. Additionally, it integrates injury-related mortality data from the WHO Mortality Database, enabling comparative analysis between fatal and non-fatal outcomes. Lessons. By combining these sources into a single interactive interface, the dashboard serves as a powerful resource for epidemiological surveillance, prevention planning, and evidence-based decision making. The system’s dual-tier methodology effectively balances detailed qualitative analysis with broader epidemiological monitoring, making it a valuable tool for policymakers, researchers, and safety promotion organizations involved in the development and evaluation of injury prevention strategies.
