We compared our new disability weights with the one-year Integration of European Injury Statistics weights21 and the long-term weights – for treated cases when weights for treated and untreated cases were given separately – of the GBD 2013 study.11 The former represent injured cases admitted to hospital while the latter represent cases who warrant “some form of health care in a system with full access to health care”.1,21 We calculated new disability weights separately for cases admitted to hospital and for other cases who only presented at emergency departments. Disability weights and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for each category that covered at least 30 cases.
