Injuries: home/leisure, violence Incidence of accidents at home and/or on freetime, including those caused by violence. |
| |
Calculation (numerator, denominator) (1) based on hospital discharges, further work needed. (2) European Injury Database (IDB): the number of accidents recorded in the sample of hospitals participating the IDB project; the number of cases extrapolated at national level; the number of accidents per 1000 inhabitants. (3) Number of respondents having had a home and leisure accident during the past 12 months derived from EHIS: question HS.7 and HS.8: HS.7 In the past 12 months, have you had any of the following type of accidents resulting in injury (external or internal)? 4. Home and leisure accident (yes / no). If yes: HS.8 Did you visit a doctor, a nurse or an emergency department of a hospital as a result of this accident? (Yes, I visited a doctor or nurse / Yes, I went to an emergency department / No consultation or intervention was necessary) consultation or intervention was necessary) |

Relevant dimensions (subgroups) IDB data very detailed: Country, Year of attendance, Age group, Sex, Treatment, Place of occurrence, Mechanism of injury, Activity at the time of the accident, Sport practised at the time of the accident, Type of the injury, Body part injured, Product involved in the accident, Product causing the injury. |

<p class=\'alertDesc\'>
What the indicator is meant to measure. If not unambiguous, all acceptable alternatives are to be listed in numbered preference order. The final decision on preference order/numbering is to be made by ECHIM coregroup.

Why is this indicator important, from the public health point of view. (For example: size or dynamics of the problem/issue, evidence of the relevance of the issue in public health terms (for determinants) or evidence of intervention effectiveness (for prevention or care issues)).

The recommended data source (e.g. Eurostat, OECD, WHO, national registers or HIS/HES, project databases etc.), in the same preference order as above; some notes on the quality and availability of the data for the indicator. Eventually, also information on the availability in coutries, as derived from the ECHIM survey.
