Unfortunately, because hospitals were unable to provide details of all injury attendances, the report was not able to examine relationships between road injury and all injury attendances. The derived ratio estimates of Emergency Department attendances for road injury to road injury admissions, for each State, geographic location, and overall national estimate are shown in Table E.2. In country Australia, an estimated 33,057 road injury attendances were calculated, with 10,372 admissions. More detailed analysis of the data is presented in the main body of the report. See appendix 4 for details.
All numbers are subject to rounding.
Confidence intervals cannot be reported for NT and ACT as the figures are actual counts from only one hospital in each Territory. The second major interest area relates to the ratio of total attendances to road injury attendances at Emergency Departments. These are summarised in Table E.3. That is, for every 38.24 Emergency Department attendances, there will be one for road injury. Alternatively, it could be said that there were some 2.62 road injury attendances per 100 Emergency Department attendances.
