The potential of emergency department injury surveillance data: an illustration using descriptive analysis of data in 0-4 year olds from the Bath injury surveillance system.

OBJECTIVES
To illustrate the potential of injury surveillance data from an emergency department surveillance system.


SETTING
Bath clinical area.


METHODS
Data for children (0-4 years old) resident in Bath city in UK were recoded and analysed.


RESULTS
There were a total of 3144 attendances and 2300 unintentional injuries - equivalent to an attendance rate of 131/1000. There were 91 thermal injuries and 162 poisoning/ingestions. Descriptive information is presented on the circumstances and consequences.


CONCLUSION
The majority of unintentional injuries in 0-4 year olds occur in the home, which is a modifiable environment. Detailed information around the circumstances available from the Bath injury surveillance system allows better focus for prevention messages and priority setting.
