International Collaborative Effort on
Injury Statistics Symposium Wednesday, June 2 8:15-8:45 Introductions and Welcome 8:45-9:45 Keynote: Determining
priorities for injury surveillance The talk will identify priorities and key issues in injury surveillance from an international perspective, including international comparisons, development of coronial databases and nonfatal injury indicators, classification systems and narratives, and linkage of data sets. 9:45-10:00 Break 10:00-11:00 International
Classification of External Causes of Injury (ICECI) Derivative tools for surveillance:
short version of ICECI View of WHO on ICECI as supplementary
data set, complementary to ICD 11:00-11:15 WHO health
behavior of school-aged children Canada and the US have developed activity codes for use with injury data from their nationally representative school-based studies of adolescents for the WHO project. Conceptual and practical issues that arose while assigning the activity codes to the ICECI injury mechanisms will be described. 11:15-12:00 Minimum Data Set for
Injury Monitoring Background and model, using experiences from Norway, Syria, Canada and the Caribbean, including a discussion of the congruence with minimum data sets for other specialized injury surveillance systems (e.g. neurotrauma and poisonings). 12:00-12:30 Open Discussion 12:30-1:30 Break for lunch 1:30-2:15 Mortality registration and
classification questionnaire results The ICE Questionnaire (completed for 20 countries) aims to define and clarify methods and terms used in calculation of injury death rates in participating countries (including data capture, inclusion/exclusion criteria and population information). The presentation will focus on the practical implications of the answers given for interpreting the international comparisons of death rates. We will also try to identify ways of producing injury death rates which are more comparable, using information which is already collected (e.g. manner of death and free text fields) but not used in routine publications. 2:15-3:00 Transitioning to
ICD-10 and ICD-10 CM The purpose of the presentation is to identify the principal differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10 in the processing and presentation of injury data for mortality. The emphasis will be on changes in classification, changes in coding rules, evaluation of the standard certificate of death and comparability studies. The ICD-10 CM portion of the presentation will highlight the modifications made to the injury and external cause chapters. The expansions include six digit codes, the addition of laterality, and greater specificity in open wound and superficial wounds in the injury chapter and 4th and fifth digit expansions to the external cause codes. The increased detail is designed to facilitate injury data reporting and analysis. 3:00-3:15 Break 3:15-3:45 International
Occupational Injury Mortality Comparisons Background and results of a project which compared the national data sets of work-related fatalities from three countries, the US, Australia and New Zealand. 3:45-4:45 Automated Software for
mortality coding Many countries are using automated software to code mortality statistics What are the implications for injury data? 4:45-5:30 Open Discussion 7:00- ICE Breaker - A time to
unwind..... Thursday, June 3 8:30- 9:15 Open Discussion 9:15-10:30 Overview of morbidity
issues Injury diagnosis morbidity
matrix The importance of and approaches to
coding and presenting multiple injuries. Matrices of body part by diagnosis based on the standard ICD-9 CM diagnostic codes; data will be presented from Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and the US. Injury diagnoses below ICD 800 as well as V codes will be discussed in the context of the implications in excluding them from the matrix. 10:30-10:45 Break 10:45-11:15 Morbidity classification
(Hospitalization) and questionnaire development The presentation will focus on the development and pre-test of the questionnaire that aims to define and clarify methods and terms used in the calculation of morbidity rates (including data capture and population information). 11:15-12:15 Multiple cause of death and
Injury What injuries result from external causes of death? How can multiple cause of death data be used to further identify injuries that are not captured by the underlying cause of death? 12:15-1:30 Break for lunch 1:30-2:00 ICD-9 CM codes and the
definition of injury The talk will focus on identifying injuries in ICD-9 CM that are outside the range of Chapter 17, Injury and Poisoning (800-999). The inclusion of these conditions will be discussed as a means of improving injury data. 2:00-2:30 EURORISC- Partnering with
ICE On Injury EURORISC (European Review of Injury Surveillance and Control) is a three year concerted action funded by the European Commission. We will give an update of its progress, present some key findings and suggest areas for possible future partnership with ICE. 2:30-2:45 The community action program
on injury prevention: the new approach on epidemiological monitoring of injuries at
European Union level 2:45-3:15 WHO World Report on
Violence International epidemiological data on fatal and non-fatal violence, including recommendations for future action toward prevention. The presentation will be followed by a discussion of possible collaboration of ICE members in this project. 3:15-3:30 Break 3:30-4:00 5th World Injury
Conference, March 2000 4:00-4:30 General discussion 4:30-5:00 Concluding remarks
