Purpose of the StudyCompare NHDS and HCUPNet for national estimates of injury hospitalizations
Compare Colorado to national estimates
National Estimates for Injury Hospitalizations
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis CodesICD-9-CMAll Injury and Poisoning800-999 Injury800-959, 990-995 Poisoning960-989 Complications of med/surg care996-999 Fractures, all sites800-829 Fracture, neck of femur820First listed diagnosis only5Comparison of National EstimatesInjury Discharges in 2006NHDS(Number in Thousands)HCUPNet*(Number in Thousands)All Injury and Poisoning2,9682,873 Injury1,7851,632 Poisoning271270 Complications of med/surg care912970 Fractures, all sites1,0741,032 Fracture, neck of femur330304First listed diagnosis only6Percent of All Hospital Discharges for Injury and Poisoning in 20067Percent of All Hospital Discharges for Injury and Poisoning in 20068Hospital Discharges for Poisoning Rate per 10,000 population by Age Group9
Hospital Discharges for Femoral Neck Fracture, Patients Age 65+Rate per 10,000 population10
Average Hospital Length of Stay (days) for Femoral Neck Fracture, Patients Age 65+11These results suggest that Similar estimates for injury and poisoning hospital discharges can be obtained from NHDS and the HCUP National Inpatient Sample
States can use these tools to compare their injury hospitalization rates with national estimates
