Coding Errors and Underestimation of Fall Injury Mortality
When assigning priorities, it is important to have correct information on the scope and magnitude of a health problem. In the March issue of the Journal, Kannus et al.1 reported an increasing trend in fall-induced injury deaths among the elderly. This is a well-known problem in most industrialized countries. The quality of cause-of-death statistics is regularly reviewed, but most studies compare death certificates with clinical records or autopsy…
Effects of Macroeconomic Trends on Social Security Spending Due to Sickness and Disability

We analyzed the relationship between macroeconomic conditions, measured as unemployment rate and social security spending, from 4 social security schemes and total spending due to sickness and disability. Methods. We obtained aggregated panel data from 13 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries for 1980–1996. We used regression analysis and fixed effect models to examine spending on sickness benefits, di…

Agriculture practice varies greatly in the world, depending on differences in farm production. This should be taken into consideration before the application of the collected articles and reports. The review demonstrates different approaches and interest on the subject among…
