Injury-Related Hospitalization Rate

State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2019
This indicator shows the age-adjusted number of hospitalizations due to a principal diagnosis of nonfatal injury of any intent per 100,000 people.

Why is this important?

Injuries are one of the leading causes of death for Americans of all ages, regardless of gender, race, or economic status. For ages 15 to 24 years, injury deaths exceed deaths from all other causes combined and account for nearly four out of five deaths in this age group. Intentional injuries are those resulting from purposeful human action directed at oneself or others. Major risk factors for intentional injuries from interpersonal or self-inflicted violence include firearms, alcohol abuse, mental illness, and poverty. Unintentional injuries refer to those that are unplanned and include motor-vehicle accidents, falls, fires and burns, and drownings. In the U.S., one death out of every 17 results from injury.
