Barriers to recruitment, retention and intervention delivery in a randomized trial among patients with firearm injuriesInjury Epidemiology - Tập 8 - Trang 1-5 - 2021

We discuss barriers to recruitment, retention, and intervention delivery in a
randomized controlled trial (RCT) of patients presenting with firearm injuries
to a Level 1 trauma center. The intervention was adapted from the Critical Time
Intervention and included a six-month period of support in the community after
hospital discharge to address recovery goals. This study was one of the first
RCTs o... hiện toàn bộ

Temporary, voluntary storage of firearms away from the home during times of risk
is a recommended strategy for suicide prevention. Law enforcement agencies
(LEAs) are often suggested as storage sites, and online maps in Colorado and
Washington display LEAs willing to consider storage. Questions remain about the
experiences and views of LEAs, including barriers to providing storage. LEAs in

Using matrix frame to present road traffic injury patternInjury Epidemiology - Tập 5 - Trang 1-6 - 2018
Chien-Hsing Wang, Wan-Hua Hsieh, Fu-Wen Liang, Tsung-Hsueh Lu
Although many epidemiological studies have presented road traffic injuries
(RTIs) according to the victim’s mode of transport, very few have mentioned the
mode of transport of the victim’s counterparts. We sought to use matrix frame to
present the pattern of RTIs based on the International Classification of
Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Patients admitted to Hualien Tzu Chi

A new weighted injury severity scoring system: better predictive power for adult trauma mortalityInjury Epidemiology - Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2019

An accurate injury severity measurement is essential in the evaluation of trauma
care and in outcome research. The traditional Injury Severity Score (ISS) does
not consider the differential risks of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) from
different body regions, and the three AIS involved in the calculation of ISS are
given equal weights. The objective of this study was to develop a weighted
injur... hiện toàn bộ
Letters to the editor in response to studies of guns in the home and homicide and suicideInjury Epidemiology - Tập 4 - Trang 1-8 - 2017
Douglas J. Wiebe, Kalen Flynn, Charles C. Branas
Letters to the editor are an important venue for scientific discussion and
ensuring accountability of authors and editors. We investigated the content and
tone of letters to the editor published in response to research on having a
firearm in the home as it relates to homicide and suicide. A recent
meta-analysis found 16 analytic studies of household firearm access and homicide
and suicide. We audi... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background Injuries pose a significant burden on population health of
Saudi Arabia. Even in nonfatal injuries, the burden varies from temporary to
permanent disabilities. Health outcomes following injuries can vary, and
predictors of recovery from disability are not well understood. In the Kingdom,
family values and cohesion can differ from other countries due to several
factors, includin... hiện toàn bộ
