“…Capture–recapture approaches for studying severe sport injuries have been proposed 20 47. Though not 100% event capture, this example and recent advances in injury surveillance48emphasises the advantage of linking multiple data sources to obtain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of death in sport. However, linkage requires availability of the data and appropriate fields (ie, name, event and death dates, sport and location) and methodology (ie, capture–recapture modelling49 50 and probabilistic linkage51) to link the data.…”

“…Normative samples may also provide information on exposure and risk factors for injury [59], along with the potential for exposure-time estimates for different activities (e.g. worker hazard exposure, time spent playing or training for different sports) [9,62,63] using activity sensor technology. There is also the potential for EMAs to be used to record information regarding the perceptions and experience of family members [64] of an injured individual.…”

Background With the increasing use of mobile technology, ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) may enable routine monitoring of patient health outcomes and patient experiences of care by health agencies. This rapid review aims to synthesise the evidence on the use of EMAs to monitor health outcomes after traumatic unintentional injury. Method A rapid systematic review of nine databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, PsychINFO, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, Scopus, SportDiscus) for English-language articles from January 2010–September 2021 was conducted. Abstracts and full-text were screened by two reviewers and each article critically appraised. Key information was extracted by population characteristics, age and sample size, follow-up time period(s), type of EMA tools, physical health or pain outcome(s), psychological health outcome(s), general health or social outcome(s), and facilitators or barriers of EMA methods. Narrative synthesis was undertaken to identify key EMA facilitator and barrier themes. Results There were 29 articles using data from 25 unique studies. Almost all (84.0%) were prospective cohort studies and 11 (44.0%) were EMA feasibility trials with an injured cohort. Traumatic and acquired brain injuries and concussion (64.0%) were the most common injuries examined. The most common EMA type was interval (40.0%). There were 10 key facilitator themes (e.g. feasibility, ecological validity, compliance) and 10 key barrier themes (e.g. complex technology, response consistency, ability to capture a participant’s full experience, compliance decline) identified in studies using EMA to examine health outcomes post-injury. Conclusions This review highlighted the usefulness of EMA to capture ecologically valid participant responses of their experiences post-injury. EMAs have the potential to assist in routine follow-up of the health outcomes of patients post-injury and their use should be further explored.

“…In particular this has been recognised in the area of injury prevention and epidemiology, where these needs have driven groups of international injury prevention experts to promote a shift from passive to active surveillance by harnessing new information technologies, such as data linkage and moving from single source to multisource-based surveillance. 18 To address the need for quick action, the strategic initiatives of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) for 2018-2022 mention the need for enhancing in-house capacity for data mining and harnessing of alternative data sources for hazard analyses or monitoring purposes. 19 A number of databases that are serving non-hospital-based sectors may contain information that could be of use for filling the existing data need.…”

Assessment of the opportunities for increasing the availability of EU data on consumer product-related injuries

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The availability of data on consumer products-related accidents and injuries is of interest to a wide range of stakeholders, such as consumer product safety and injury prevention policymakers, market surveillance authorities, consumer organisations, standardisation organisations, manufacturers and the public. While the amount of information available and potentially of use for product safety is considerable in some European Union (EU) countries, its usability at EU level is difficult due to high fragmentation of the data sources, the diversity of data collection methods and increasing data protection concerns. To satisfy the policy need for more timely information on consumer product-related incidents, apart from injury data that have been historically collected by the public health sector, a number of 'alternative' data sources were assessed as potential sources of interest. This study explores the opportunities for enhancing the availability of data of consumer product-related injuries, arising from selected existing and 'alternative' data sources, widely present in Europe, such as firefighters’ and poison centres’ records, mortality statistics, consumer complaints, insurance companies’ registers, manufacturers’ incident registers and online news sources. These data sources, coupled with the use of IT technologies, such as interlinking by remote data access, could fill in the existing information gap. Strengths and weaknesses of selected data sources, with a view to support a common data platform, are evaluated and presented. Conducting the study relied on the literature review, extensive use of the surveys, interviews, workshops with experts and online data-mining pilot study.
