Abstract

* Injury deaths were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision underlying cause-of-death codes U01-U03, V01-Y36, Y85-Y87, and Y89 and include all intents (unintentional, suicide, homicide, undetermined intent, and legal intervention).

Injuries accounted for the majority of deaths among persons aged 15-39 years, with the highest percentages among those aged 15-19 (76.0%) and 20-24 years (78.2%). The percentage of injury deaths was lowest among those aged <1 year (7.9%), 60-64 years (7.5%), and ≥65 years (3.4%).
