Foreword 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is pleased to provide this 

third edition of the State Injury Indicators Report which presents 2004 

data. We hope state public health officials and others will find the injury 

surveillance data presented in this report useful in making decisions 

about prevention efforts to reduce the burden of injury in the United 

States.

The methods used to prepare these data are consistent with those used 

in previous cycles of injury indicator data collection. The methods are 

based on recommendations presented in the Consensus Recommendations for Using Hospital Discharge Data for Injury Surveillance and 

from the National Public Health Surveillance System (NPHSS) indicators developed by the State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors 

Association (STIPDA) and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). With partner feedback and updated consensus recommendations, CDC continuously modifies and updates the instructions 

and methods used to prepare these data.

Thirty-four states participated in data submission either as a part of 

CDC Program Announcement 05027 or through voluntary submission. 

As more states and U.S. territories participate in this surveillance effort, 

a broader picture of the burden of injuries can be presented and priorities for prevention can be targeted. NCIPC looks forward to continuing 

to work with partners to advance and improve injury surveillance using 

state-based data on fatal and nonfatal injuries.

Surveillance is one of the most important and basic elements of injury 

prevention and control. It helps determine the magnitude of injury 

morbidity and mortality, the leading causes of injury, and the population 

groups and behaviors associated with the greatest risk of injury. 

Surveillance data are also fundamental to determining program and 

prevention priorities. Furthermore, these data are crucial for evaluating 

the effectiveness of program activities and for identifying problems that 

need further investigation.

Injury continues to be the leading cause of death and disability among 

children and young adults.1 In 2004, more than 167,000 people died 

from injuries in the U.S. Of the deaths, 27% were from motor-vehicle 

crashes, 19% were from suicide, and 10% were from homicide.1

Additionally, in 2004, more than 29.6 million people were treated for 

injuries in U.S. emergency departments.1 The economic cost of injuries 

is also significant. The total cost of the 50 million medically treated 

injuries sustained in 2000 is estimated to be $406 billion in medical 

expenses and productivity losses.2

The mission of public health includes prevention, mitigation, assurance 

of access to treatment, and reduction of injury-related disability and 

death.3 The scope of public health encompasses injuries involving any 

mechanism (e.g., firearm, motor vehicle, or burn) and includes both 

intentional and unintentional injuries. An important part of the public 

health mission is to emphasize that injuries are preventable and to 

dispel the misconception that injuries are unavoidable.

Recognizing the need for more comprehensive injury surveillance 

data, the State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors 

Association (STIPDA) produced Consensus Recommendations for 

Injury Surveillance in State Health Departments in 1999.4 These 

recommendations were developed by a working group representing 

STIPDA, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), 

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its National 

Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), and the Society for 

Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR).

The State Health Department Consensus Recommendations

identified 14 specific injuries and injury risk factors to be placed under 

surveillance by all states and 11 data sets to monitor these injuries and 

risk factors.4 The goal is to improve state-based injury surveillance to 

better support injury prevention programs and policies. By enhancing 

and standardizing methods used to track fatal and nonfatal injuries 

at the state level, its integration with overall public health surveillance 

as part of the National Public Health Surveillance System (NPHSS) 

will be much easier.5 With the State Health Department Consensus 

Recommendations, CSTE and STIPDA developed injury indicators 

that were formally adopted for inclusion in NPHSS.6,7 The NPHSS 

injury indicators add to other indicators developed by CSTE for chronic 

diseases and other areas.6

The Consensus Recommendations for Using Hospital Discharge Data 

for Injury Surveillance, published in 2003, has provided clear and 

specific recommendations about the evaluation and use of hospital 

discharge data.8 It presents important considerations for the evaluation 

of data quality and outlines the methods for developing an injury 

hospitalization data set. 

The collection and dissemination of injury indicators in this report is the 

implementation of the foundation laid by the publication of the STIPDA

and CSTE documents. It is the next step in the collaborative process 

of building strong state-based injury surveillance that is comparable 

between jurisdictions.

Introduction
Methods

The data presented in this report are drawn from a combination of state 

vital statistics records, state hospital discharge data (HDD), the National 

Vital Statistics System (NVSS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance 

System (BRFSS), and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). 

The methods used to prepare this report were fully delineated in the 

companion publication, State Injury Indicators: Instructions for Preparing 2004 Data.

9

 In brief, injury hospitalization cases were identified from 

state-based HDD using the principal diagnosis (or first-listed diagnosis 

code) along with other selective factors. Injury deaths were identified 

from vital statistics data using the underlying-cause-of-death codes. For 

the fatal TBI indicator, all multiple-cause-of-death fields were searched. 

For comparison purposes, national rates for the fatality indicators were 

generated using the NVSS. 

What is an Injury Indicator?

An injury indicator describes a health outcome of an injury, such 

as hospitalization or death, or a factor known to be associated 

with an injury.

The following International Classification of Diseases – Tenth Revision

(ICD-10)10 and International Classification of Diseases – Ninth Revision 

– Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM)11 code groupings were used to identify cases of injury-related death and hospitalization, respectively.

Discussion of Indicators


For the BRFSS data, weighted percentages were generated by state by 

using the 2004 public-use data file for the questions of interest.12 Alcohol-related crash death rates were calculated by state using the number 

of alcohol-related crash deaths from FARS data as the numerator and 

state-provided population totals for the denominator.13 An alcohol-related crash death is defined as a death due to a motor vehicle traffic crash 

where either the driver or a non-occupant (e.g., pedestrian) had a blood 

alcohol concentration (BAC) ≥0.01 g/dL. 

Hospital Discharge Data Quality

The quality and completeness of hospital discharge data is affected by 

factors including the completeness of external-cause-of-injury coding 

and the inclusion or exclusion of residents treated in out-of-state hospitals. Both incomplete external-cause-of-injury coding and the loss of 

state residents treated in out-of-state hospitals decrease the number of 

cases that can be identified and result in reporting artificially lower rates. 

Readers are encouraged to consider the representativeness of data 

from individual state hospital discharge data systems when interpreting 

rates based on hospital discharge data. 

For the 2004 data, hospital discharge data with external cause coding 

ranged from 66% to 100% (Table A). Ninety-four percent of the reporting 

states have >80% of their hospitalization data external-cause-of-injury 

coded; this is an increase from 56% in the 2nd edition. A parallel increase is seen in the number of states with >90% of hospitalization data 

external-cause-of-injury coded; 66% have >90% coded in this edition 

while only 35% had >90% coded in the second edition.14

Highlights

The injury indicator data presented here provides a unique state-specific look at the magnitude of nine injury topic areas. With 34 states participating, an increase from 26 states in the second edition, the national 

representativeness of the data continues to increase. By using statespecific datasets and an agreed upon methodology, states are able 

to compare findings both within indicators and among states. Within a 

state, comparisons can be made relative to the magnitude and impact 

of the various causes of injury. Also, as the completeness of reporting 

and external-cause-of-injury data continues to improve, interstate comparisons become possible.

The thirty-four states are geographically diverse and both urban and 

rural areas are represented. These states, when considered together, 

provide an overview of injury in each of the indicator areas. 

All-Injury Indicators

The individual state rate of Hospitalizations for All Injuries ranged from 

321.0 to 812.3 per 100,000 persons (Figure 1a). The median rate for 

Hospitalizations for All Injuries across the reporting states was 555.4 per 

100,000 persons. 

The individual state rate of Hospitalizations for All Injuries ranged from 

333.0 to 824.1 per 100,000 persons among males and from 296.5 to 

784.2 per 100,000 persons among females (Figure 1b). The median 

rate for Hospitalizations for All Injuries was 585.7 per 100,000 persons 

among males and 509.9 per 100,000 persons among females.

In each of the reporting states, the highest Hospitalizations for All Injuries rate was among people 85 years and older, with a range of 2,557.7 

to 6,845.1 per 100,000 persons (Figure 1c).

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Indicators 

The individual state rate of TBI Fatalities ranged from 7.1 to 25.2 per 

100,000 persons (Figure 2a). The national rate for TBI Fatalities was 

17.9 per 100,000 persons.

The individual state rate of TBI Fatalities ranged from 10.9 to 40.9 

per 100,000 persons among males and from 3.8 to 12.9 per 100,000 

persons among females (Figure 2b). The national rate for TBI Fatalities was 27.8 per 100,000 persons among males and 9.1 per 100,000 

persons among females. 

In each of the reporting states, the highest TBI Fatality rate was among 

people 65 years and older, with a range of 24.2 to 61.9 per 100,000

Limitations and Future Efforts

While this report provides important information for understanding injury, 

the following limitations should be considered: 

• Only injuries severe enough to lead to either hospitalization or death 

are reported. Injuries that lead to emergency department visits, physician office visits, or remain untreated need to be accounted for if 

the total burden of injury is to be understood.

• Not all causes of injury have been included in this report. The absence of fall-related indicators is noted. 

• Representation from all states and territories has not yet been 

achieved. 

• Quality and completeness of external-cause-of-injury coding, while 

improving, continues to be incomplete. 

Future editions of the State Injury Indicators Report will strive to address 

these limitations. NCIPC, STIPDA, and CSTE, in conjunction with participating states, will continue to refine current indicators and define new 

ones for inclusion in future editions of this report. In keeping with the 

consensus building process and the publication of Consensus Recommendations for Surveillance of Falls and Fall-Related Injuries15 the next 

edition will include the recommended indicators for fall-related injuries. 

The incorporation of emergency department data into future editions is 

under exploration and consideration. Finally, submission of data from 

additional states and territories is encouraged and welcomed.
