Abstract:Objective: To explore the potential for using a basic text search of routine emergency department data to identify product-related injury in infants and to compare the patterns from routine ED data and specialised injury surveillance data.Methods: Data was sourced from the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) and the Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit (QISU) for all injured infants between 2009 and 2011. A basic text search was developed to identify the top five infant products in QISU. Sensitivity,… Show more
“…There are significant challenges with identifying product-related injury and emerging trends from Australian health datasets to detect unsafe products and inform reform strategies. 2,4,[12][13][14] Issues include the protracted time to access data from health datasets, a lack of clear identification of consumer products in health datasets and the need to text mine narratives to identify product involvement. However, notwithstanding these challenges, it is critical for evidence to inform policy and the health of vulnerable populations, and a precondition for advancing public safety and public health policy is the generation of more robust data.…”

“…Australia does not have a well‐established national injury surveillance system with only two states, Victoria and Queensland, conducting routine injury surveillance, and the National Coronial Information System partially fulfilling this function for deaths. There are significant challenges with identifying product‐related injury and emerging trends from Australian health datasets to detect unsafe products and inform reform strategies 2,4,12-14 . Issues include the protracted time to access data from health datasets, a lack of clear identification of consumer products in health datasets and the need to text mine narratives to identify product involvement.…”

Globalisation and product safetyThe impact of globalisation has amplified the capacity for consumer products to be manufactured at scale, with variance in quality assurance and regulatory oversight at multiple points in the process of design,

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
