Abstract
Background and Objectives:Injuries are still considered as one of the public health problems in Iran and in the world, and their control and prevention are a burden on the health system of many middle and lower income countries. One of the barriers to controlling and preventing injuries in low and middle income countries is the inadequacy or inaccuracy of information. Therefore, there is a need for a relevant national database for these countries. The purpose of this study was to introduce a specialized safety and injury database.
Materials and Methods: Multilayer architecture has been used in the design of the Iranian Safety and Injury Database (SafeLir). The design of this database is based on several programming languages including SQL, HTML, and Java Script and C #. The performance of this database has been evaluated along with other medical information databases. Ethical considerations are included in the study.
Results: A review of the different sections of the database showed that the SafeLir database has ideal conditions for users and researchers to use in safety and injury research. At present, the beta version of the SafeLir is available on-line, and a variety of documents, including articles from academic journals and congresses, books and dissertations in related fields, can be retrieved from this database. The evaluation of the performance of this SafeLir along with other medical databases also showed that the performance of this database is appropriate and reliable in retrieving relevant information. Even in retrieving national documents, SafeLir's performance was better than other medical databases.
Conclusion: The SafeLir database includes all features expected by researchers and it can be used as a specialized source of safety and injury research.
