A Study of Child Injury Based on Data Mining

A comprehensive pediatric injury burden assessment is an essential foundation for formulating injury prevention strategies and improving emergency care for injured children. Although the hospital-based passive surveillance of national injury surveillance system of medical and health institutions has been well-established in China, the monitoring points of hospitals were not stratified according to children's hospital. Aim of the project is to collect epidemiological and clinical data to describe causes, clinical features and outcomes of pediatric injuries at a Children's Hospital in Shanghai, China. The project intends to establish a method for collecting and analyzing high quality data of child injury using data mining based on the hospital information system.
