背景资料：为了解决发展中国家受伤人数不断增加的问题，世界卫生组织（世卫组织）鼓励建立以医院为基础的监测系统和系统的数据收集。虽然计算机化系统在效率方面更可取，但许多发展中国家难以获得适当的资源。目的：评估各国之间比较和分享数据的可能性，然后讨论通过互联网建立国际数据管理系统的可能性。研究方法：使用世卫组织发布的指南作为标准，对泰国、柬埔寨、斯里兰卡和日本伤害监测系统的数据目录进行逐点比较。结果如下：泰国、柬埔寨和斯里兰卡使用的数据项目相互之间以及与世卫组织准则之间都具有可比性，几乎没有差异，而且易于修改。日本的系统使用完全不同的数据项。结论：数据的可比性表明，建立一个能够储存各国数据的全球数据管理系统是可行的。这种系统如果能够通过互联网使用，将使资源有限的国家受益，为它们提供一个现成的框架，以低成本实施监督系统。
Background: To address the increasing number of injuries in developing countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages the establishment of hospital-based surveillance systems and systematic data collection. Although a computerized system is preferable in terms of efficiency, many developing countries have difficulty accessing the appropriate resources. Objectives: To assess the possibility of comparing and sharing data among countries, and then to discuss the possibility of establishing an international data management system through the internet. Methods: A point-by-point comparison of data directories from injury surveillance systems in Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Japan was conducted using guidelines published by WHO as the standard. Results: Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka used data items that are comparable to each other and to WHO guidelines, with few, readily amenable, differences. The Japanese system used quite different data items. Conclusions: Data comparability suggests the feasibility of a global data management system that can store data from various countries. Such a system, if made accessible over the internet, would benefit resource-constrained countries by providing them with a ready-made framework to implement a surveillance system at low cost.
