Summary

This chapter focuses on how injuries are classified and counted, primarily in health data systems, and how the data can be presented and used in research. The lnternational Classification of Diseases (ICD), a product of world health organization (WHO), is the most widely used classification scheme for coding deaths and morbid conditions. The ICD provides the essential guidelines for the coding and classification of cause-of-death and morbidity data. In addition to the ICD, there are other classification schemes that are unique to a specific survey or surveillance system. It includes Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS), Nordic Medico-Statistical Committee (NOMESCO), and the International Classification of External Causes of Injury (ICECI). In order to count injuries, fatal or non-fatal, the researcher must understand the inclusion and exclusion criteria associated with various databases, or with a particular study design.
