The primary objective was to describe the methodological challenges and devise solutions to compare injury incidence across countries. The research design was a mixed methods study, consisting of a consultation with an expert group and comparison of injury surveillance systems and data from ten European countries. A subset of fractures, selected radiologically verifiable fractures and a method of checking the national representativeness of sample emergency department data were devised and are proposed for further development. These methodological considerations and developments will be further refined and tested and should prove useful tools for those who need to compare injury incidence data across countries.
主要目标是描述方法学上的挑战，并设计出比较各国伤害发生率的解决方案。研究设计为混合方法研究，包括与一个专家小组进行磋商，以及对十个欧洲国家的伤害监测系统和数据进行比较。设计了一个骨折子集、经放射学验证的选定骨折以及一种检查样本急诊科数据的全国代表性的方法，并建议进一步开展研究。这些方法学上的考虑和进展将得到进一步完善和测试，对于那些需要比较各国伤害发生率数据的人来说，应该会证明是有用的工具。
