This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents statistics on ED visits related to injuries using the 2017 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). The number of ED visits related to each cause of injury is presented, along with the percentage of those visits that resulted in the patient being admitted to the same hospital or transferred to another hospital. The population rate of ED visits related to injuries is presented by select population characteristics for all injury causes and for the five most common specific causes of injury. Finally, the distribution of primary expected payer for ED visits related to injuries is provided for all injury causes and for the five most common specific causes of injury. Because of the large sample size of the NEDS data, small differences can be statistically significant. Thus, only differences greater than or equal to 10 percent are noted in the text.
本医疗成本与利用项目（HCUP）统计简报呈现了使用2017年全国急诊科样本（NEDS）得出的与损伤相关的急诊科就诊统计数据。列出了与每种损伤原因相关的急诊科就诊次数，以及这些就诊中导致患者入住同一家医院或转至另一家医院的就诊次数所占百分比。按选定的人口特征列出了所有损伤原因以及五种最常见的特定损伤原因的与损伤相关的急诊科就诊人口率。最后，提供了所有损伤原因以及五种最常见的特定损伤原因的与损伤相关的急诊科就诊主要预期支付方分布情况。由于NEDS数据样本量较大，较小的差异在统计上可能具有显著性。因此，文本中仅注明大于或等于10%的差异。
