11. Session 10: Future plans for the Grand Research Challenge: Global collaboration in measuring the incidence and burden of injuries

1. Determine research priorities/plans: 4 proposed breakout sessions

A. Measurement of incidence

1. How do estimates of fatal and non-fatal injury incidence compare between surveys, sources of routine health service utilization data, and focused injury studies?

1. Are relationships between incidence metrics of non-fatal injuries derived from parallel data sources sufficiently robust to support predictive models?
2. Can mortality data be used to estimate incidence data in countries or regions with little or no incidence data?

3. Which indicators of injury incidence/frameworks should be recommended for international work?

B. Data Linkage/Text analysis methodologies

4. How can linked data be used to enhance measurement of the incidence of injury?

5. To what extent can textual data mining methodologies contribute to measurement of the incidence of injuries?

C. Disability/Burden of injury methodologies

6. What is the impact of using different disability weight metrics on estimating the population burden of injuries?

7. Which aspects of the code-sets and rules that comprise ICD-10, ICD-11 and their clinical modifications are important for measuring the burden of injuries?

8. Can injury measurement be improved by means of guidelines or recommendations for the use of ICD-coded data and/or by means of specific changes to the ICD code-sets and rules?

D. Other/TBC

9. Standardized methods for measuring injury severity

10. Other ideas arising during the conference

10:00 - 10:15 Break

12. Session 11: Report back from breakout sessions and discussion of next steps
