Abstract

Although analysis of hospital discharge data (HDD) can provide important information about severe nonfatal injuries, HDD often do not include information about the causes of these injuries (e.g., motor-vehicle crashes and assaults). Inconsistent reporting of causes of injury has limited the usefulness of HDD for injury surveillance. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) includes codes for classifying external causes of injury (E-codes). This report describes progress in implementing E-code reporting in states.

摘要

尽管对医院出院数据（HDD）的分析能够提供有关严重非致命伤害的重要信息，但HDD往往不包含这些伤害原因（如机动车碰撞和袭击）的信息。伤害原因报告的不一致性限制了HDD在伤害监测方面的实用性。《国际疾病分类，第九次修订本，临床修订版》（ICD-9-CM）包含用于对伤害外部原因（E编码）进行分类的编码。本报告描述了各州在实施E编码报告方面取得的进展。
