Injury hospitalisations among 15–19 year olds in New Zealand, 1987–96
| E code | Hospitalisations | Rate* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Rate per 100000 persons/year; †in 1102 cases resulting from motor vehicle traffic (MVT) incidents (7% of all MVT cases), the status of the injured road user (that is, whether a vehicle occupant, motorcyclist or pedestrian) was unspecified (ICD E code subcategory .9). We reviewed the narratives for these cases and reclassified 455 of them. The remaining 647 cases were reclassified in the same proportions observed for all other cases in the 1987–96 period; ‡in the calculation of rates, the 4th digit .9 codes were distributed according to the free text information and the distribution of 4th digit codes (1 through 8) in the study period; §rates based on fewer than five cases are unstable and are therefore not presented. | |||
