A surveillance based assessment of medical costs of injury in Europe: Eurocost (Phase 1 - 2002) (Phase 2 - 2004)
The aim of the EUROCOST project was to enhance the effective use of current European and national injury surveillance systems for policy decision-making, by adding information on the medical costs of injury. The objectives were to harmonise the available data on injury incidence and related health care consumption in all participating countries, to estimate medical costs of injury with a uniform method in those countries, and to explore the causes of international differences. Furthermore, an estimate of the medical costs of injury at EU level was obtained. This project was financed by the Euopean Commission.
Measuring the costs of injury in Europe : a review of the state-of-the-art / E.F. van Beeck, S. Mulder ; ECOSA Working Group on the Costs of Injuries (1998)
This report consists of 3 main chapters, one for each of the 3 general methodologies for cost calculation: direct costs, indirect costs and human costs. Within each chapter, the concept is defined and then the methods for estimations are described: a description of the methods available, and the theoretical basis of the methods. The results found are presented as well as the methodological strengths and weaknesses. The conclusions are formulated with regard to the value of the methodologies, and recommendations of the methodologies applied, in the last section of each chapter. An annotated bibliography is also available.
Injury Glossary
A glossary of terms for costs of injury studies is published on the EuroSafe website and maintained by the Working Group.
