• 2015 Non-Fatal Hospitalization and ED data are not comparable to data from prior years. For 2015, EpiCenter has mapped fourth quarter ICD-10-DM coded data to ICD-9-CM injury categories.
• Injury data are coded to the ICD-9 classification system, except for deaths after 1998, which are coded to the ICD-10. To avoid making invalid comparisons, see
Help with ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.
