WISH Query: Injury-Related Mortality - 1999 and Later

(Data updated January 2016)

This module provides data on injury-related mortality (deaths) among Wisconsin residents. Please note that the coding system for external causes of death changed beginning with deaths that occurred in 1999. See Trend Analysis Caution for details. A separate module presents data on 1989 - 1998 deaths from injuries.

To shape your query, first decide the injury mortality statistics you want, such as number of deaths or injury death rate. You can narrow your focus to a particular cause or manner of death.

Then select the geographic area and year. You can also choose to focus on selected age, sex or race/ethnicity groups. Finally, choose row and column variables for your table.

See Injury-Related Mortality Module Definitions for notes on the measures.

Rates by race and Hispanic ethnicity depend on population estimates for the rate denominators. Users should note that those estimates for the years 2000 forward are revised annually to incorporate improved information from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)

Step 1. Which measure do you wish to focus on?

Step 5. Choose One or More Years

You can choose to see data for the latest available year (2014). Or you can choose to see one or more single years, or one or more groups of years. Note: If you are requesting data for a small population, it is often useful to combine years of data. WISH suppresses small numbers (when cell size is less than 5) to comply with Wisconsin vital records data privacy guidelines.

Deaths before 1999 must be analyzed separately; see Trend Analysis Caution and the 1989 - 1998 data module.

One or more years: Select a year, or hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and select multiple years.
Specify your own years: Click on this button, then enter the years of interest.
