Comparison between the European Union and Croatia regarding child injuries fatalities

Introduction: To identify sources of danger to human health is one of the goals of public health. Accidents and following injuries are one of the huge medical and socio-economic burden of contemporary society. Injuries due to accidents and violence kill more than 230 000 people in European Union -27 countries, additionally 5, 7 million people are admitted to hospital and 33, 9 million are treated as hospital outpatients. Children, adolescents and person in advanced age bear the highest risk for injury. For children older than 1 year of age injuries are the main cause of death. 1 out of 10 children in EU each year experiences an injury requiring emergency medical attention. In this age group injuries have a tremendous impact on child, child's family and society as whole. The aim of this analysis is to compare data about child fatalities caused by injuries between EU-27 and Croatia. Materials and Methods: Data from publication - Eurosafe, Injuries in the European Union, report on injury statistics 2008-2010, Amsterdam, 2013, which used data from EuroStat and WHO-Europe and the European Injury Data Base were compared with vital statistics mortality data for years 2008-2010 from the Republic of Croatia Central Bureau of Statistics prepared by the Croatian National Institute of Public Health. Results: In the EU-27 injuries account for 28% of all deaths of children 1-14 years of age with considerable differences between EU member states: in the United Kingdom they account for 19%, in Lithuania 45%, in Croatia injuries account for 34%. In the EU in the age group 15-24 injuries account for 62% of all causes of death, in Croatia in the age group 15-19 years injuries account for 65%. Analyzing five main types of injuries: road traffic, drowning, fires, falls and poisoning in the age group 0-14 years in the EU road traffic injuries account for 32% ; in Croatia for 38%, the proportion of other injuries are lower in Croatia. For the same types of injuries in the age group 15-24 years difference regarding road traffic injuries are even bigger they account for 46 % in the EU, and in the group 15-19 in Croatia for 58%. Males bear a considerably higher risk than females in EU as well as in Croatia. Conclusion: Regarding the comparison between Croatia and EU-27 it is evident that road traffic injuries represent the highest threat for children and adolescents in Croatia and much higher than in the EU-27. For other types of injuries percentages in Croatia are lower or the same as in the EU-27.The responsibility for injury prevention is quite dispersed over a variety of policy sectors. It is estimated that almost 100 000 lives could be saved each year if every country in the EU reach the level of fatalities like in Netherland. The European Child Safety Alliance was launched in 2000. Child safety experts from more than 30 countries across Europe including Croatia are working together to reduce the burden of injury. Regarding the adolescents the problem is there is relatively little understanding of the risk taking behavior among adolescents. The Action on Adolescents and Injury Risk- Ad Risk is the project which apply different approach to adolescents putting the split second in the core of project. Split second is the moment in which young person decide whether to take risk or not „ A split second can change your life“. The mentioned activities and many other resulted in fact that injury fatalities are decreasing, but because accidents are avoidable causes of death, morbidity and disability continuing efforts are necessary to further decrease of risks.
