Levels of Physical Activity in Children with Extremity Fractures a Dutch Observational Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Fractures are common in children and a frequent cause of emergency department (ED) visits. Fractures can cause long-term complications, such as growth problems. Research on fractures can reveal useful areas of focus for injury prevention.

[The effect of the corona measures on the number of injuries treated at Emergency Departments].

Objective: To gain insight into the effect of the coronavirus measures on the number of severe injuries treated at Emergency Departments (EDs).

Design: Retrospective observational research.

Method: We compared prevalences of ED visits from the Dutch Injury Surveillance System (DISS) between the period of semi-lockdown (16 March-10 May 2020) and the same period in 2019.

Costs and benefits of multifactorial falls prevention in nursing homes in the Netherlands.

Objectives: To investigate whether the implementation of a multifactorial falls intervention in nursing homes is cost-beneficial and alleviates the professional workload.

Design: A comprehensive quantitative model was developed to calculate the impact of investments in multifactorial falls prevention in nursing homes in the Netherlands, comparing the fall incidence using intervention strategies in 1000 nursing home residents with the conditions of usual care over a five-year timeline.

Setting And Participants: We built a model combining several data sources regarding falls and injury prevalence in nursing home residents, health care costs, intervention costs and effectiveness, and demographic statistics.

[Decrease in minor injury related visits to Emergency Departments coincides with higher numbers of primary care contacts].

Objective: In the past 10 years, there has been a decrease in the number of patients who report to the Emergency Department (ED) every year for injuries from accidents or violence, especially in the subgroup of patients who did not require hospital admission. We investigated how the number of injury-related emergency department visits and GP contacts evolved over the period 2013-2017.

Design: Retrospective observational trend study.

Predicting Forearm Physical Exposures During Computer Work Using Self-Reports, Software-Recorded Computer Usage Patterns, and Anthropometric and Workstation Measurements.

Objectives: Alternative techniques to assess physical exposures, such as prediction models, could facilitate more efficient epidemiological assessments in future large cohort studies examining physical exposures in relation to work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate two types of models that predict arm-wrist-hand physical exposures (i.e.
