To determine the significance of serious injury in Maori relative to other health problems, to describe the leading causes, and to determine age specific rates for major classes of injury.
We used New Zealand Health Information Services' public hospital inpatient data files. The New Zealand Census classification of 'Sole-Maori' was used to determine injury mortality rates.
On average, one in every eight admissions in Maori, was for injury. Injury was the leading reason for admission for those 5-44 years old. Unintentional injury accounted for 85% of injuries, with those ages 1-14 and 15-24 years having the highest numbers and rates. Falls, followed closely by motor vehicle traffic crashes, were the leading causes, accounting for 23% and 20% respectively.
In order to address the priorities identified here, appropriate partnerships between crown agencies and social agencies, both Iwi and/or community based, must be established.
确定毛利人重伤相对于其他健康问题的重要性，描述主要原因，并确定主要伤害类别的特定年龄发病率。
我们使用了新西兰卫生信息服务中心的公立医院住院患者数据文件。采用新西兰人口普查的“纯毛利人”分类来确定伤害死亡率。
平均而言，毛利人每八次住院中有一次是因受伤。受伤是5至44岁人群住院的主要原因。意外伤害占伤害总数的85%，1至14岁和15至24岁人群的数量和发病率最高。跌倒紧随机动车交通事故之后，是主要原因，分别占23%和20%。
为了解决此处确定的优先事项，必须在王室机构与基于伊维族和/或社区的社会机构之间建立适当的伙伴关系。
