“…However, most of injuries are nonfatal, and can be treated in Emergency Departments (EDs) [ 2 ]. According to the European Association for Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion (EuroSafe), about 38 million Europeans annually refer to the ED due to injuries and 90% of them suffer from unintentional injuries [ 3 ]. These figures suggest that collecting accurate and meaningful injury data are necessary for identifying injury patterns and planning for future interventions [ 4 ].…”

Background Injury data play a pivotal role in monitoring public health issues and Injury Surveillance Information Systems (ISIS) are useful for continuous data collection and analysis purposes. Since emergency department (ED) is usually the first place of referral for the injured people, the aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model for an ED-based ISIS. Methods This study was completed in 2020 and the Delphi technique (three rounds) was used to determine the main components of an ED-based ISIS. The participants were selected using the purposive sampling method. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was used for data collection and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results In the first, second, and third rounds of the Delphi study, 60, 44, and 28 experts participated, respectively. In the first and second rounds, most of the items including the personal data, clinical data, data sources, and system functions were found important. In the third round of the Delphi study, 13 items which did not reach a consensus in the previous rounds were questioned again and five items were removed from the final model. Conclusion According to the findings, various data elements and functions could be considered for designing an ED-based ISIS and a number of data sources should be taken into count to be integrated with this system. Although the conceptual model presented in the present study can facilitate designing the actual system, the final system needs to be implemented and used in practice to determine how it can meet users’ requirements.

Unintentional accidents are very common in children and are the main reason for consultation and hospitalization in paediatric surgery. Aim: To determine the factors associated with unintentional accidents resulting in hospitalization. Material and methods: This is a cross sectional study carried out in the Paediatric Surgical Emergency Department of the Children's Hospital of Rabat over a period of 4 years. We processed 1205 children's files; the data was collected and analysed by Jamovi. Results: for the 545 files selected, the median was 8 years [4; 12] and boys were predominant (70.4%). Sociodemographic factors were represented by low health insurance. In 95.1% of cases, the family lived in a house (50.1%) or an apartment (45%) compared to 4.9% who had insanitary house. For parents' level of education, fathers had a high school education (43.6%) or never attended school (16.9%), compared to 32.9% of mothers who did not attend school. No adult was present during the accident (54.6%). The accident occurred on weekdays (73.2%), especially on winter and summer (41.6% and 33.8%). The main lesions were fractures (53%). The lesions involved the limbs (52.5%) and the head (30.2%) and were multiple in 6.5% of cases. The outcome was simple in 96.1%.
