The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors study used the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to quantify burden diseases, injuries, risk factors. This paper provides an overview injury estimates from 2013 update GBD, with detailed information on incidence, mortality, DALYs rates change 1990 for 26 causes injury, globally, by region country.Injury mortality was estimated using extensive GBD database, corrections ill-defined cause death ensemble modelling tool. Morbidity...
The literature focuses on mortality among children younger than 5 years. Comparable information nonfatal health outcomes these and the fatal burden of diseases injuries older adolescents is scarce.
<h3>Importance</h3> Understanding global variation in firearm mortality rates could guide prevention policies and interventions. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate due to injury deaths from 1990 2016 195 countries territories. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This study used deidentified aggregated data including 13 812 location-years of vital registration generate estimates levels death by age-sex-year-location. The proportion suicides which a was the lethal means combined with an per...
Kathryn Chu and colleagues discuss the impact of high-income country investigators conducting research in low- middle-income countries explore lessons from effective equitable relationships that exist. Please see later article for Editors' Summary
In this Policy Forum, the Bellagio Essential Surgery Group, which was formed to advocate for increased access surgery in Africa, recommends four priority areas national and international agencies target order address surgical burden of disease sub-Saharan Africa.
Background We previously showed that in the absence of a formal emergency system, lay people face heavy burden injuries Kampala, Uganda, and we demonstrated feasibility basic prehospital trauma course for people. This study tests effectiveness this estimates costs cost-effectiveness scaling up training. Methods Findings For six months, prospectively followed 307 trainees (police, taxi drivers, community leaders) who completed one-day care program 2008. Cross-sectional surveys fund knowledge...
Despite the growing burden of injuries in LMICs, there are still limited primary epidemiologic data to guide health policy and system development. Understanding epidemiology injury developing countries can help identify risk factors for target interventions prevention treatment decrease disability mortality.To estimate seen patients presenting government hospital Kampala, capital city Uganda.A secondary analysis a prospectively collected database by Injury Control Centre-Uganda at Mulago...
BACKGROUND Current evidence-based screening algorithms for blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) may miss more than 30% of carotid or vertebral artery injuries. We implemented universal BCVI with computed tomography angiography the neck at our level 1 trauma center, hypothesizing that only would identify all clinically relevant BCVIs. METHODS Adult activations from July 2017 to August 2019 underwent full-body scan including a 128-slice scanner. calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive...
Injury accounts for 9.6% of the global mortality burden, disproportionately affecting those living in low- and middle-income countries. In an effort to improve trauma care Rwanda, Ministry Health developed a prehospital service, Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU), established emergency medicine training program. However, little is known about patients receiving or their outcomes. The objective was develop linked prehospital–hospital database evaluate patient characteristics, mechanisms...
The identification of safe and effective alternatives to blood transfusion is a public health priority. In sub-Saharan Africa, shortage cause mortality morbidity. Blood can also transmit viral infections. Giving tranexamic acid (TXA) bleeding surgical patients has been shown reduce both the number transfusions volume transfused. objective this study investigate whether routinely administering TXA elective cost by averting deaths occurring from blood, preventing infections transfusions. A...

The burden of global injury-related deaths predominantly affects developing countries, which have little infrastructure to evaluate these disparities. We describe mortality patterns in Kampala, Uganda and compare them with data from the United States San Francisco (SF), California.We created a database Kampala recorded by City Mortuary, Mulago Hospital Ministry Health July December 2007. analyzed rate odds ratios compared U.S. Centers for Disease Control Prevention California Department...
