A Study of Child Injury Based on Data Mining

A comprehensive pediatric injury burden assessment is an essential foundation for formulating injury prevention strategies and improving emergency care for injured children. Although the hospital-based passive surveillance of national injury surveillance system of medical and health institutions has been well-established in China, the monitoring points of hospitals were not stratified according to children's hospital. Aim of the project is to collect epidemiological and clinical data to describe causes, clinical features and outcomes of pediatric injuries at a Children's Hospital in Shanghai, China. The project intends to establish a method for collecting and analyzing high quality data of child injury using data mining based on the hospital information system.

About this study

Injuries are a leading cause of death for infants and children around the world. According to the Haddon Injury Control Model, 90 percent of injuries are both predictable and preventable. Injuries are preventable, not "accidents". All unintentionally and intentionally injured children first visit to the emergency department are recruited in the study. Children's Hospital of Fudan University with a Regional Pediatric Trauma Centre is also the first Pediatric Injury Prevention Center established in China. We conduct a prospective cohort study to investigate the epidemiology, clinical course, and outcomes of the injured child first visit to the emergency department, which expected to serve as evidence of injury prevention and promising practices. In the study, we collect and analyze high quality data of child injury based on data mining.

This is an observational study and does not include interventions.

Primary outcomes

  1. Distribution of injury categories

    Time frame: At baseline

    According to the electronic medical record system, the distribution of injury categories is defined as the proportion of various injury causes (fall，motor vehicle crash，sports, struck, foreign body) in the cohort subjects.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 28 days mortality

    Time frame: Within 28 days from ED admission

    Mortality within 28 days from Emergency Department（ED）admission based on electronic medical records system

  2. 180 days mortality

    Time frame: Within 180 days from ED admission

    Mortality based on electronic medical records system

  3. Short-term disability

    Time frame: At 180 days from ED admission

    Disability accessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 180 days from ED admission. The Glasgow Outcome Scale was dichotomized into favorable outcome (moderate disability or good recovery ; GOS score of 4 or 5) and unfavorable outcome (death, vegetative state or severe disability; GOS score 1-3).

  4. Percentage of ICU admission

    Time frame: From ED admission to 72 hours

    Percentage of ICU admission from ED admission to 72 hours based on electronic medical records system
