Note: * represents a number less than 5
Note: ** percentages are based on a total of all injuries, including both unintentional and intentional injuries, unless otherwise selected under the cause of injury
Note: ** these costs are direct health care costs and do not include any indirect costs, for example rehabilitation costs.
Note: The dollar value is estimated using the latest year of Cost per Weighted Case (CWC). This approach is used to allow comparisons over time.
Note: medicare complications include post operative complications

TERM	DESCRIPTION	ICD-10 CODE
Adverse Effects	Drugs, medicinal and biological substances causing adverse effects in therapeutic use	Y40-Y59, Y880
Age Specific Rates	The rate of death per 100,000 population in the specified age group for a given year. Age Specific Rates provide more detailed examination of hospitalization and mortality issues by age than is provided by summary standardized measures such as age standardized rates. When rates are presented by an age group breakdown, the rates are often referred to as Age Specific Rates. Population estimates have been used to calculate the age specific rates.	N/A
Age Standardized Rates	A summary of age adjusted death or hospitalization rates that have been standardized to a ?standard? population (1991 BC Census) for the purpose of rate comparisons between genders, disparate geographic regions or populations, or over time periods. This rate is the theoretical number of deaths or hospitalizations per 100,000 population that would have occurred in the standard population if the age groups in the standard population were dying or hospitalized at the same rate as the population in question. Or, in other words, the age standardized rate is the theoretical number of deaths or hospitalizations per 100,000 population that would have occurred in the population in question if it had the same age group distribution (proportions) as the standard population. These rates are selected to remove any discrepancies due to age structure differences (all age groups 0-90+) in population. A specific age group cannot be selected when requesting for age standardized rates. Note: Only age standardized rates that have been calculated to the same standard populations are comparable. In addition, the age standardized rate is a theoretical value used for rate comparison that does not represent the actual rate of death or hospitalization observed in a population.	N/A
Cutting/Piercing	Injury caused by cutting or piercing instrument or object; fall on sharp object; powered hand tools or appliances	W25-W29, W41, W45, W49, W60, W99
Drowning & Submersion	Accidental drowning or submersion involving watercraft, fall or activity in water. Excludes watercraft incident not involving drowning or submersions and all other transport injuries; injuries due to diving and striking pool	V90, V92, W65-W70, W73, W74
Falls	Including falls on same level, and from various heights and objects, fall or dropped while being carried, fall involving wheelchair, ice skates, skis, skateboard, etc., fall due to pushing or collision with other person, diving or jumping into water (if injury other than drowning). Excludes falls from animals, burning buildings, fire, water (with drowning), machinery, transport vehicles, and falls onto sharp objects	W00-W19
Fire, Flames & Hot Substances	Injuries caused by fire and flames; hot appliances, objects or liquids; steam; acid burns. Unintentional burning by fire, smoke and fumes asphyxia; burns due to contact with hot objects, substances or caustics. Excludes fire in machinery, non-stationary transport and other vehicles, watercraft fires, radiation burns and electric current	X00-X06, X08-X19
Homicide & Violence/ Maltreatment	The infliction of fatal or non-fatal injuries by another person, by any means, with intent to kill or injure. Injuries resulting from legal intervention and operations of war are excluded	X85-X99, Y00-Y09
Hospitalization Cost	This provides the total direct costs for a particular injury. This is useful in demonstrating the economic burden of the specified injury. This value is calculated using the Resource Intensity Weight (RIW) for each patient.	N/A
ICD-10	International Classification of Diseases (ICD), tenth revision	N/A
Intent (of injury)	The role of human purpose in an injury incident	N/A
Intentional Injury	Injuries that are purposely inflicted, either by a person to him/herself or to another person. Examples suicide or attempted suicide, homicide, rape, assault, domestic abuse, elder abuse, and child abuse	X60-Y09
Injury	Any unintentional or intentional damage to the body resulting from acute exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical or chemical energy or from the absence of such essentials as heat or oxygen	N/A
Injury Death	The underlying cause of death is injury	N/A
Injury Hospitalization	Injury is one most responsible diagnosis of in-patients who leave hospital through discharge or death	N/A
Misadventure	Misadventures to patients during surgical or medical care. Excludes unintentional overdose of drugs	Y60-Y66, Y69, Y881, Y95
Off-road Vehicle	Non-traffic injuries involving off-road motor vehicles.	V090, V190-V192, V20-V29(1), V290, V857, V865-V869
Overexertion	Overexertion and strenuous movements from excessive physical exercise, recreation, lifting, pulling, and pushing	X50
