Abstract

Abstract: Background: The present study was conducted as part of the national project on developing Integrated Road Traffic Registry (IRTIR). The aim of this study was to develop and assess application feasibility and content validity of data collection tool for forensic section in IRTIR. Methods: Data collection tools were developed by information retrieved from literature review as well as the current tool used for traffic fatalities in Forensic Medicine Organization (FMO) and discussion in expert panel. For assessment of content validity, 15 experts in various fields of expertise such as forensic medicine, emergency medicine and neurosurgery, expressed their ideas and gave comments along with scoring the items on relevance, clarity, necessity and feasibility. The Content validity was calculated by the content validity index (CVI) and modified KAPPA. In order to evaluate the application feasibility of the tool, the information for ten traffic fatal cases were collected by forensic medicine specialists using the developed tool. Results: The content validity of the data collection tool was confirmed after two rounds of assessment and improvement. It also was found to be feasible for use in forensic investigations. According to the CVI and modified kappa value above 0.87 for all items. The final tool included in various areas of etiologic and prevention-related information. Conclusions: The present data collection tool for fatal road traffic accidents was more complete and accurate than the current data collection tool and was confirmed to be a valid tool and suitable to be used in the Iranian Integrated Road Traffic Injury Registry and similar settings.

伊朗道路交通伤害综合登记处(IRTIR)法医部门数据收集工具的开发、内容有效性和应用可行性

摘要：背景：本研究是作为开发综合道路交通登记处（IRTIR）的国家项目的一部分进行的。本研究的目的是开发和评估用于IRTIR法医学部分的数据收集工具的应用可行性和内容有效性。方法：根据文献综述中检索到的信息，以及法医组织（FMO）目前用于交通死亡的工具和专家小组的讨论，开发数据收集工具。为了评估内容的有效性，法医学、急诊医学和神经外科等各个专业领域的15名专家表达了他们的想法并发表了意见，同时对项目的相关性、清晰度、必要性和可行性进行了评分。内容有效性通过内容有效性指数（CVI）和修正的KAPPA进行计算。为了评估该工具的应用可行性，法医专家使用开发的工具收集了10起交通致死案件的信息。结果：经过两轮评估和改进，数据收集工具的内容有效性得到了证实。它也被发现在法医调查中使用是可行的。根据CVI和所有项目的修正kappa值大于0.87。最后的工具包括在各个领域的病因和预防相关信息。结论：目前的致命道路交通事故数据收集工具比目前的数据收集工具更完整、更准确，被证实是一种有效的工具，适合在伊朗综合道路交通伤害登记处和类似机构中使用。关键词：损伤监测，登记；道路交通伤害；法医学；数据收集工具；有效性
