National IDB File Information (Minimum Data Set)

1	Country	Slovenia
2	Year	2012
3	National Register Name	The Out-Patient Specialist Services Database (National Emergency Department Data); National Hospital Health Care Statistics Database
4	Purpose of the register	The legal basis for health data collection in Slovenia is Law on Health Information System and Databases called “The Health Care Databases Act“. Out-patient specialist services represent secondary level of health care in the Republic of Slovenia. Reports are submitted after all curative activities have been carried out in out-patient specialist services. Data are provided by all specialist surgeries offering specialist out-patient care. National Emergency Department Data present a part of The Out-Patient Specialist Services Database. All patients who are admitted for one day or longer in all hospitals are recorded in existing National Hospital Health Care Statistics Database. Due to the fact that The Out-Patient Specialist Services Database is normally admitted at National Institute of Public Health in aggregated form without personal identifier, separate data capture was implemented for the purpose of IDB-MDS data preparation. The data from both above described databases are transformed into standard IDB data format (MDS), according to JAMIE Manual, August 2012. Data derived upon both above described registers will be used (similar as before IDB (AI) data) for setting the priorities for developing national action plan on injury prevention in children. Especially data on products involved in accident or causing injury are very valuable to detect some problems and include topics in the childhood injury prevention program. Data will also be used for publishing analysis on injuries in adolescents and for research on product safety.

15	Hospital characteristics used for a representative sample of hospitals	Sample hospitals, were selected in such a way that geographically cover entire country. Slovenian sample include 3 general hospitals and one university hospital (the biggest Slovenian hospital). Known bias: 1. A part of eye injuries is not included in case of one sample hospital. That is approx. 3% of all emergency ambulatory treatments in this hospital, but it is assumed that most of those injuries are actually treated also in other clinics of this hospital, as this are injuries that also covers other parts of the head/ body and not only eye. 2. Our sample covers the majority of skiing injuries in Slovenia, as in one of our sample hospitals the majority of skiing injuries in Slovenia is treated.
16	Sampling of cases within hospitals	All cases within sample hospitals are covered.
17	Percentage of admissions in data file	10.7%
18	Relative sample size (admissions)	38.6%
19	Relative sample size (ambulatory treatments)	53.3%
20	Minimum Quality Control Checks	y
21	Average percentage of “unknown””	7.2%	Remark: Max. in the case of mechanism of injury 34.8%.
22	Method for extrapolation from sample to national incidence	1) Based on national figures of injury cases of hospital admissions.
23	Reference population data provided	y
