Towards valid 'serious non-fatal injury indicators for international comparisons based on probability of admission estimates

Conclusions
Using a large study size, we identified injury diagnoses with high estimated PrAs. These diagnoses can be used as the basis for more valid international comparisons of life-threatening injury, based on hospital discharge data, for countries with well-developed healthcare and data collection systems.
