Towards valid 'serious non-fatal injury' indicators for international comparisons based on probability of admission estimates.
The aim of this paper was to identify diagnoses with estimated high probability of inpatient admission (PrA) for selected developed countries. Its results confirmed that femoral fractures have high PrA across all countries studied. Strong evidence for high PrA also exists for fracture of base of skull with cerebral laceration and contusion; intracranial haemorrhage; open fracture of radius, ulna, tibia and fibula; pneumohaemothorax and injury to the liver and spleen.
