RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Although fatality and hospitalization rates for burns in Canada have declined over time, less serious cases still commonly present to the emergency department (ED). METHODS: The Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) is an injury and poisoning surveillance system administered by the Public Health Agency of Canada, operating in emergency departments of 17 hospitals. RESULTS: Overall, cases reported in 2013 were scalds and contact burns from hot objects. The leading direct causes of scalds were hot beverages and hot water. The leading causes of contact burns were stoves/ovens and fireplaces/accessories. While the overall proportion of burns was highest among females, males comprised a higher proportion of burns from all mechanisms except scalds.


INTRODUCTION: Bien que les taux de mortalité et d'hospitalisation associés à des brûlures au Canada aient diminué avec le temps, des cas moins graves se présentent encore couramment aux services d'urgence. MÉTHODOLOGIE: Le Système canadien hospitalier d'information et de recherche en prévention des traumatismes (SCHIRPT) révèle les causes majeures de brûlures thermiques et échaudures en 2013. RÉSULTATS: Au total, la moitié des blessures déclarées cette même année étaient des échaudures et des brûlures résultant d'un contact avec un objet brûlant. Les deux principales causes d'échaudures étaient les boissons chaudes et l'eau chaude. Les deux principales causes directes des brûlures par contact étaient les cuisinières et fours.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this paper is to describe the trends and patterns of self-inflicted injuries, available from Canadian administrative data between 1979 and 2014/15, in order to inform and improve suicide prevention efforts. METHODS: Suicide mortality and hospital separation data were retrieved from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) holdings of Statistics Canada's Canadian Vital Statistics: Death Database (CVS:D) (1979 to 2012); Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System (CANSIM 2011, 2012); the Hospital Morbidity Database (HMDB) (1994/95 to 2010/11); and the Discharge Abstract Database (2011/12 to 2014/15). Mortality and hospitalization counts and rates were reported by sex, 5-year age groups and method. RESULTS: The Canadian suicide rate (males and females combined, all ages, age-sex standardized rate) has decreased from 14.4/100 000 (n = 3355) in 1979 to 10.4/100 000 (n = 3926) in 2012, with an annual percent change (APC) of -1.2% (95% CI: -1.3 to -1.0). However, this trend was not observed in both sexes: female suicide rates stabilized around 1990, while male rates continued declining over time-yet males still accounted for 75.7% of all suicides in 2012. Suffocation (hanging and strangulation) was the primary method of suicide (46.9%) among Canadians of all ages in 2012, followed by poisoning at 23.3%. In the 2014/15 fiscal year, there were 13 438 hospitalizations in Canada (excluding Quebec) associated with self-inflicted injuries-over 3 times the number of suicides. Over time females have displayed consistently higher rates of hospitalization for self-inflicted injury than males, with 63% of the total. Poisoning was reported as the most frequent means of self-inflicted harm in the fiscal year 2014/15, at 86% of all hospitalizations. CONCLUSION: Suicides and self-inflicted injuries continue to be a serious - but preventable - public health problem that requires ongoing surveillance.


INTRODUCTION: Cette étude a pour objet de décrire, à l'aide de données administratives canadiennes, les tendances et les caractéristiques des blessures auto-infligées entre 1979 et 2014-2015, afin d'orienter et d'améliorer les mesures de prévention du suicide. RÉSULTATS: Le taux de suicide au Canada (hommes et femmes confondus, tous âges, et taux normalisé selon l'âge et le sexe) a diminué, passant de 14,4/100 000 (n = 3 355) en 1979 à 10,4/100 000 (n = 3 926) en 2012, soit une variation annuelle en pourcentage (VAP) de ­1,2 % (IC à 95 % : ­1,3 à ­1,0). Cependant, cette tendance n'a pas été observée chez les deux sexes : chez les femmes, les taux de suicide se sont stabilisés vers les années 1990, tandis que chez les hommes, ils ont continué de décliner au fil du temps ­ malgré le fait que les suicides chez les hommes constituent toujours 75,7 % de tous les suicides en 2012. La suffocation (pendaison et strangulation) était en 2012 la principale méthode de suicide (46,9 %) chez les Canadiens de tous âges, suivie de l'intoxication (23,3 %).Au cours de l'exercice 2014-2015, il y a eu 13 438 hospitalisations au Canada (à l'exclusion du Québec) associées à des blessures auto-infligées ­ ce qui représente plus de trois fois le nombre de suicides. Au fil du temps, les femmes ont systématiquement présenté des taux d'hospitalisation plus élevés pour des blessures auto-infligées que les hommes, soit 63 % du total. L'intoxication a été la méthode la plus fréquemment déclarée de préjudice autoinfligé au cours de l'exercice 2014-2015, constituant 86 % de toutes les hospitalisations. CONCLUSION: Les suicides et les blessures auto-infligées demeurent un problème de santé publique grave ­ mais évitable ­ qui exige une surveillance constante.

RESUMO

This status report on the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), an emergency department-based injury and poisoning surveillance system, describes the result of migrating from a centralized data entry and coding process to a decentralized process, the web-based eCHIRPP system, in 2011. This secure system is improving the CHIRPP's overall flexibility and timeliness, which are key attributes of an effective surveillance system. The integrated eCHIRPP platform enables near real-time data entry and access, has user-friendly data management and analysis tools, and allows for easier communication and connectivity across the CHIRPP network through an online collaboration centre. Current pilot testing of automated data monitoring and trend analysis tools-designed to monitor and flag incoming data according to predefined criteria (for example, a new consumer product)-is revealing eCHIRPP's potential for providing early warnings of new hazards, issues and trends.


RÉSUMÉ: Ce rapport d'étape sur le Système canadien hospitalier d'information et de recherche en prévention des traumatismes (SCHIRPT), un système de surveillance des blessures et des empoisonnements utilisé par les services d'urgence, décrit le résultat de la migration d'un processus d'entrée et de codage des données centralisé vers le processus décentralisé de l'eSCHIRPT, réalisée en 2011. Ce système sécurisé accroît la souplesse et la rapidité globales du SCHIRPT, attributs clés d'un système de surveillance efficace. La plate-forme intégrée de l'eSCHIRPT permet une entrée de données et un accès aux données en temps quasi réel, comprend des outils conviviaux de gestion et d'analyse des données et facilite la communication et la connectivité au sein du réseau du SCHIRPT grâce à un centre de collaboration en ligne. L'essai pilote mené actuellement sur les outils automatisés de contrôle de données et d'analyse des tendances ­ destinés à surveiller et à mettre en évidence les données d'entrée à partir de critères prédéfinis (par exemple un nouveau produit de consommation) ­ révèle le potentiel de détection rapide des nouveaux dangers, enjeux et tendances que possède l'eSCHIRPT.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Inflatable amusement attractions, structures that are air-supported and inflated by a blower, have recently gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of inflatable-related injuries presenting to Canadian emergency departments. METHODS: The Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) is an injury and poisoning surveillance system presently operating in the emergency departments of all 11 pediatric and 4 general hospitals across Canada. The CHIRPP was searched for cases of injuries associated with commercial inflatable amusement structures. RESULTS: Overall, 674 cases were identified over the 20-year surveillance period, during which time the average annual percent increase was 24.6% (95% CI: 21.6, 27.7). Children aged 2 to 9 years were the most frequently injured (59.3/100,000 CHIRPP cases), and fractures accounted for 34.5% of all injuries. DISCUSSION: A sharp increase in emergency department visits for injuries associated with commercial inflatable amusement structures has been observed in recent years. Injury mechanisms could be mitigated by product design modifications and stricter business operational practices.


TITLE: Blessures associées aux jeux gonflables traitées dans des services d'urgence au Canada, 1990-2009. INTRODUCTION: Les jeux gonflables, à savoir des structures de jeu alimentées par une soufflerie, ont récemment gagné en popularité. Cette étude visait à décrire l'épidémiologie des blessures liées aux jeux gonflables traitées dans des services d'urgence au Canada. MÉTHODOLOGIE: Le Système canadien hospitalier d'information et de recherche en prévention des traumatismes (SCHIRPT) est un système de surveillance des blessures et des intoxications mis en œuvre dans le service d'urgence de 4 hôpitaux généraux et des 11 hôpitaux pour enfants du Canada. Nous avons consulté le SCHIRPT pour trouver des cas de blessures associées aux jeux gonflables commerciaux. RÉSULTATS: Nous avons recensé 674 cas sur la période de surveillance de 20 ans, et nous avons observé une augmentation annuelle moyenne de 24,6 % (IC à 95 % : 21,6 à 27,7) pendant cette période. Les enfants de 2 à 9 ans étaient le plus fréquemment touchés (59,3/100 000 cas figurant dans le SCHIRPT), et les fractures représentaient 34,5 % des blessures subies. CONCLUSION: Nous avons observé une augmentation marquée, au cours des dernières années, des visites aux services d'urgence pour des blessures associées à des jeux gonflables commerciaux. On pourrait agir sur les mécanismes lésionnels en modifiant la conception des produits et en s'assurant que les entreprises œuvrant dans le domaine resserrent leurs pratiques.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Due to space constraints, bunk beds are a common sleeping arrangement in many homes. The height and design of the structure can present a fall and strangulation hazard, especially for young children. The primary purpose of this study was to describe bunk bed-related injuries reported to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), 1990-2009. METHODS: CHIRPP is an injury and poisoning surveillance system operating in 11 pediatric and 4 general emergency departments across Canada. Records were extracted using CHIRPP product codes and narratives. RESULTS: Over the 20-year surveillance period, 6002 individuals presented to Canadian emergency departments for an injury associated with a bunk bed. Overall, the frequency of bunk bed-related injuries in CHIRPP has remained relatively stable with an average annual percent change of 21.2% (21.8% to 20.5%). Over 90% of upper bunk-related injuries were due to falls and children 3-5 years of age were most frequently injured (471.2/100 000 CHIRPP cases). CONCLUSION: Children with bunk bed-related injuries continue to present to Canadian emergency departments, many with significant injuries. Injury prevention efforts should focus on children under 6 years of age.

RESUMO

The validity and reliability of hand-held dynamometry and Cybex dynamometry were investigated using maximal isometric contractions of the external rotators of the shoulder in 14 healthy male subjects. Three maximum voluntary contractions were recorded from each subject by a hand-held dynamometer and a Cybex isokinetic dynamometer at two testing sessions approximately 1 week apart. Analysis of variance did not reveal any significant differences between the mean peak torques obtained with either instrument or between days. The intrarater reliability was clearly established for both the hand-held dynamometer (r = 0.986) and Cybex dynamometer (r = 0.993). Within-day correlations between the two instruments accounted for 27% (day 1) and 60% (day 2) of the explainable variance. This suggests that although both techniques produced identical peak torque values and measured the same element of performance-strength, they did so in a slightly different manner. The possible nature of these differences is discussed.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1988;10(6):213-217.
