Identifying gaps for research prioritisation: Global burden of external causes of injury as reflected in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
Bottom Line:
Correlation testing revealed a strong positive correlation that was statistically significant.Representation of falls was greater compared to DALY, while self-harm, exposure to forces of nature, and other transport injury representation was lower compared to DALY.These results provide high-quality and transparent data that may guide future prioritisation decisions.

fig0005: Relationship between number of systematic reviews and protocols in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and percent of total 2010 DALYs for 12 injury and trauma conditions. Mentions: Falls and road injury had the greatest representation in CDSR with 45 and 44 titles, respectively (see Table 2 and Fig. 1). These two causes also had the greatest cumulative number of studies informing the systematic review evidence-base (911 and 515, respectively). Falls had disproportionately greater CDSR representation compared to its disease burden. |
