Estimating the distribution of external causes in hospital data from injury diagnosis.
TLDR
The Bayesian method was found to be a significant improvement for generating estimates of incidence for many external causes and performed poorly in distinguishing between falls and road traffic injuries, both of which are characterized by similar injury codes in the authors' datasets.About:

Building national estimates of the burden of road traffic injuries in developing countries from all available data sources: Iran
TL;DR: While young adults are at high risk in non-fatal crashes, the elderly have the highest total death rates, largely due to pedestrian crashes, while motorised two-wheeler riders dominate hospital admissions, outpatient visits and health burden in Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Availability and quality of cause-of-death data for estimating the global burden of injuries
TL;DR: Only 20 countries had high-quality death registration data that could be used for estimating injury mortality because injury deaths were frequently classified using imprecise partially specified categories, and analysts that can derive national estimates of injury mortality from alternative data sources are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can we rely on suicide mortality data
TL;DR: The accuracy and hence the value of official suicide statistics has been questioned in recent years to an extent that has led some authorities to dismiss their usefulness in epidemiological research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classifying External Causes of Injury: History, Current Approaches, and Future Directions
TL;DR: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is used to categorize diseases, injuries, and external causes of injury, and it is a key epidemiologic tool enabling storage and retrieval of data from health and vital records to produce core international mortality and morbidity statistics as mentioned in this paper.

Incidence and Economic Burden of Injuries in the United States
TL;DR: This book updates a landmark Report to Congress from 1989 with comprehensive estimates of the incidence and economic burden of injuries with more timely data, despite major changes in the fields of prevention, reporting and surveillance.

Road-Traffic Injuries: Confronting Disparities to Address a Global-Health Problem
TL;DR: These projections highlight the essential need to address road-traffic injuries as a public-health priority in low-income and middle-income countries and the need to respond to disparities in available evidence and prevention efforts.
