Europe
APOLLO is a multi-study package partially funded
under the EC DG Sanco 2004 call for proposals

3WP2 Overview Objectives and Process
- Title The Burden of Injuries in EU Indicators
and Recommendations for Prevention and Control - Aim To produce evidence relevant to European
policy makers on the burden of injuries together
with information on the efficiency of relevant
injury prevention interventions.
4WP2 Core Overview Objectives and Process
- Specific Objectives
- To map the urgency for taking action for
prevention of injuries due to the magnitude of
the problem by calculating an array of
indicators, which are in accordance with the work
proposed by the Working Party on Indicators of
the EC - To build capacity among new member states to
adequately measure their burden of injuries with
a view of monitoring the impact of their injury
prevention efforts - To develop the theoretical framework for
essential indicators, which are currently missing
with integration of injury severity measures and
exposure to risk denominators - To produce tools for linking injury severity with
health outputs and costs by member states - To recommend appropriate future data collection
efforts

6WP2 Core Deliverables
- Report on the Burden of Injuries in Europe
-
- A web-based query system to produce additional
tables and figures with injury data per country
and for Europe at large - Final report summarizing all the above
7Logistics of WP2 Core activities
- WP2 core involves participation of a total of 24
countries. - Managed by Universidad de Navarra (UN) Team
- Deals, primarily with explotation of
- Hospital discharge data
- And some work on either
- Emergency discharge data
- Health Interview Data
- Which is population-based, that is, we know of
denominators. Whether national, regional, or
local (e.g., city-wide), we will take what there
is, in the above listed order (nationalgtregionalgtl
ocal)
8What it actually means
- Define datasets available --telephone interview
conducted, summary presented as poster in Vienna
and being prepared as manuscript - Good news, all have HDD, most 2004, most ICD-10
(4 ICD-9-CM) - Develop a listing of indicators to be calculated
- So far, 300 reviewed, 20 selected with further
breakdowns by age and gender - Create/Update/customize software algorithms to
derive numerators and denominators for indicator
development. - For example, maps from ICD into AIS, ICD into
Barrel matrix
9Contd)
- Develop a website that will become the working
space for project partners - Development of sofware to analyze data
- Analyze those data that participating countries
cannot analyze by themselves - Development of the web-query system
- Development of Report on Burden
10Developments to date
- Summary on data sources completed poster
available, manuscript under preparation - Summary on indicators completed, manuscript under
preparation for APHA - Web site as working tool completed

12Analysis of HDD undergoing in 14 steps
- Gather Census Data
- Gather (additional) information on Hospital
Discharge Data - Gather Hospital Discharge Data and temporarily
upload it to UN - Check for quality of injury codes
- Apply ICDMAP algorithm
- Apply Barell Matrix algorithm
- Apply AIS to FCI algorithm
- Apply external causes of injuries
- Apply nature of injury categories algorithm
- Upload augmented hospital discharge data to UN
temporarily - Calculate frequency distributions
- Upload log file of frequency distributions
- Upload results from log file onto web-query
system - Calculate indicators

13Programming for HDD
In sum 18 programs developed 2
The software is open to the public. You can use
it for other projects. You can give it to other
people. Just cite it appropriately. A suggested
reference is available in each program.
