abstract="Injuries continue to be a public health concern in Canada. National injury death data are essential for understanding the magnitude and pattern of injuries. This paper used the Vital Statistics - Death database to examine deaths associated with injuries in 2015. Injuries were ranked against causes of death, and more in-depth analysis of injury categories was conducted by sex and age. Unintentional injuries were the 6th leading causes of death overall, with different ranking by sex. Among unintentional injury deaths, leading causes included falls, poisonings, motor vehicle traffic collisions, and suffocation, which varied by age group.<p /> <p>Ongoing reporting of national injury death data is essential for understanding the trend and burden of injuries at the national level in Canada. In 2015, unintentional injuries were the 6th leading cause of death overall and the leading cause for those aged 1-34. Suicide ranked as the 2nd leading cause of death for 15-34-year-olds. Falls, poisonings and motor vehicle traffic collisions are the top three leading causes among unintentional injury deaths.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
