Internationally, little is known about long-term postinjury outcomes among older adults. This report describes adults' injury-related, disability and physical psychosocial characteristics 12 years postinjury, including for Māori (Māori are the Indigenous people of New Zealand). The Prospective Outcomes Injury Study (POIS) recruited 2856 Zealanders, injured between 2007 2009. Interviews were conducted 3, 24 months postinjury. Twelve 1543 participants completed a follow-up interview. Data...

The Prospective Outcomes of Injury Study aims to identify predictors disability following injury. Participants were selected from the entitlement claims register New Zealand's no-fault compensation insurer, Accident Compensation Corporation, and followed up by interview for 2 years. This report describes changes intended methods key characteristics cohort, with an emphasis on general health before injury soon afterwards. There 2856 injured participants in first interview, which occurred 3.2...

Abstract Background Injury outcome studies have tended to collect limited pre-injury characteristics, focus on a narrow range of injury types, predictors and outcomes, be restricted high threat life injuries. We sought identify the role socio-demographic health injury-related healthcare in determining short-term functional outcomes for wide Methods Study participants (aged 18-64 years inclusive) were those Prospective Outcomes Study, cohort 2856 persons who injured registered with New...

Objectives Despite significant international interest in the economic impacts of health inequities, few studies have quantified costs associated with unfair and preventable ethnic/racial inequities. This Indigenous-led study is first to investigate inequities between Māori non-Māori adults New Zealand (NZ) estimate these differences. Design Retrospective cohort analysis. Quantitative epidemiological methods ‘cost-of-illness’ (COI) methodology were employed, within a Kaupapa theoretical...

Background: In New Zealand (NZ), 20% of adults report a disability, which one-third is caused by injury. No prospective epidemiological studies predictors disability following all-cause injury among Zealanders have been undertaken. Internationally, focused on limited range or specific injuries. Although these provide useful insights, applicability to NZ given the importance NZ’s unique macro-social factors, such as no-fault accident compensation and rehabilitation scheme, Accident...

Introduction To reduce the burden on injury survivors and their supporters, factors associated with poor outcomes need to be identified so that timely post-injury interventions can implemented. date, few studies have investigated for both those who were hospitalised not. Aim describe prevalence identify pre-injury injury-related predictors of disability among non-hospitalised people, three months after injury. Methods Participants in Prospective Outcomes Injury Study aged 18–64 years an...

Most studies investigating disability outcomes following injury have examined hospitalised patients. It is not known whether variables associated with are similar for injured people who hospitalised.This paper compares the prevalence of 24 months after participants in Prospective Outcomes Injury Study were and those non-hospitalised, also seeks to identify pre-injury injury-related predictors among non-hospitalised participants.Participants, aged 18-64 years, recruited from an claims...

Although opportunities exist for positive experiences in research, Maori New Zealand, like other indigenous people colonised by Europeans the nineteenth century, have also been subject to research and associated policies that had long-lasting negative consequences. Researchers subsequently challenged conduct is acceptable, accountable relevant. Much of this debate has taken place within framework Treaty Waitangi, a treaty cession signed between British Crown representatives 1840. Nowadays,...

Māori have been found to experience marked health inequities compared non-Māori, including for injury. Accessing healthcare services post-injury can improve outcomes; however, longer-term experiences of access injured are unknown. This paper reports on data from the longitudinal Prospective Outcomes Injury Study - 10 year follow up (POIS-10) study in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ), qualitatively understand accessing injury-related long-term.Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with 305...

Research into methods for eliciting adolescents' health state preferences has mostly avoided tasks identifying states worse than dead, which is required calculating quality-adjusted life years economic evaluations. This study investigated the feasibility of older adolescents, including using EQ-5D-Y-5L (Y-5L) and EQ-5D-5L (5L), compared participants' across two instruments. Two online surveys were created Y-5L 5L respectively Potentially All Pairwise RanKings all Possible Alternatives...

Māori, the indigenous population of New Zealand, experience numerous and consistent health disparities when compared to non-Māori. Injury is no exception, yet there a paucity published literature that examines outcomes following wide variety injury types severities for this population. This paper aims identify pre-injury injury-related predictors life satisfaction three months after group injured Māori. The Māori sample (n = 566) were all participants in Prospective Outcomes Study (POIS)....
