Context for the talk
How can we move the field of child injury control forward - given the competing demands of the child survival world in low and middle income countries, and of the chronic disease world in high income countries?
![Page 3: Prevention of death and disability from injuries to children Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH The Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55153a3655034673228b5b80/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Child survival: “the most pressing moral dilemma of the new millennium”
• 12 million children < 5 years dying annually in 1990, most in LIC
• Half occurred in six countries: India, Nigeria, Congo, Ethiopia, Pakistan and China
• Most deaths were from: measles, malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, neonatal disorders, AIDS
• Interventions to reduce these deaths by two-thirds were available or developed

Epidemiologic transition in HIC
• Chronic illness in adults
• Chronic illness in children
• Low mortality from child trauma
• Increased disability from child trauma:– TBI and SCI– Burns– Amputations– Psychic injuries

ADULTS
• 50% are not back to work at 1 year
• 35% report health as fair-poor at 1 year
• 40% of elderly have difficulty walking
• No effect of TC care on functional outcomes in TBI or elderly
• 40% of adults have PTSD sxs at one year

The future for both HIC and LMIC
• Shift from acute to chronic illness• Shift from injury mortality to injury
morbidity• Anticipated burden of MV injuries:
pedestrian, occupant, motorcycle, bicycle• Burden from suicide: will be the 10 leading
cause of death in 2020• Burden from guns: will be the 12th leading
cause of DALYS by 2020

Some facts on care of trauma patients
• Where injured patients get care makes a difference in outcomes
• Improving the quality of care makes a difference in outcomes
• Interventions are available to improve trauma care in HIC, MIC and LIC

Rehabilitation
• Children account for one-third of the world’s disabled population
• Injuries from war and accidents are the 2nd leading cause in Africa
• In Germany, only 5% pts with TBI received inpatient neuro-rehabilitation
• Few RCTs and lack of standard interventions for TBI

Adolescence
• Ages 10-19 years
• One-sixth of the world’s population; 90% in LMIC
• Concept of ‘adolescence” did not exist prior to 20th century
• Views have shifted over time and place: Members of family economic assets valued
members of society with future contributions

Improving the quality of research: Large scale intervention trials
• Kumar: Effect of community-based behaviour change management on neonatal mortality in Shivgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India: a cluster-randomised controlled trial. 104,000 people in 39 villages. 52-54% reduction in neonatal mortality.
• Rhee: Maternal and birth attendant hand washing and neonatal mortality in southern Nepal. 23,000 neonates; 41% lower mortality
• Diguiseppi: Incidence of fires and related injuries after giving out free smoke alarms: cluster randomised controlled trial 40 wards, 20,000 smoke detectors distributed, but only 30% installed. No effect on injuries.
• Roberts: Effect of intravenous corticosteroids on death within 14 days in 10008 adults with clinically significant head injury (MRC CRASH trial): randomised placebo-controlled trial. 10,000 pts with TBI in 239 countries in 49 hospitals. No protective effect

Why has there been success in other areas of child health?
• Increase in new knowledge and development of new technologies has been responsible for most of the advances and gains in life expectancies.
• Efforts to improve health systems and policies have been central to success in these other diseases
• Increases in life expectancies increased incomes and GDP

Change priority setting
• Need exceeds resources everywhere and require new approaches to priority setting
• Research needs fall into one of 3 domains: – Assess injury burden and its determinants– Improve performance of existing capacities to decrease
burden– Develop new capacities to decrease injury M&M
• Current research priority setting may be flawed and contribute to persistent injury M&M
• Consider the CH&NRI priority setting process to inform investors about possible gains and risks to their investment

Criteria for setting priorities among different research options

Priority setting
• Has occurred but has not followed evidence-based format
• Most decisions seem to depend on which way the political wind is blowing or one individual’s opinion
• Focus has been on injury prevention and not on injury control

Priority setting• Invest more wisely in R&D
• Broaden to include injury control
• Shift the paradigm for priority setting - commonality of injuries in HIC and LMIC
• Maximize the potential of Information Technology
• Increase global research capacity
• Create a global health architecture

In sum:
• Epidemiologic transition
• Injury control not just prevention
• Evolution of the idea of adolescence
• Improving the quality of research
• Change priority setting

“Injury is a problem that can be diminished considerably if adequate attention and support are directed to it…. The alternative is the continued loss of health and life to predictable, preventable, and modifiable injuries.”
- William Foege, MD Injury in America (1985)
