(Data Updated September 2021) This module provides data on injury-related deaths of Wisconsin residents from 1999 through the most recent available year. Step 1. Select a measure Number of injury deaths This is the observed count of deaths. Unadjusted Rate This is the observed rate and is displayed as the number of deaths per 100,000 residents. Please use this rate when describing injury among your population of interest. This rate should not be used to compare different populations or time periods to each other as we have not adjusted these rates to account for differences in age composition across populations. Age-adjusted Rate We recommend that you select age-adjusted rates when making comparisons between two populations (for example, Southern Region injury rates compared to Northern Region injury rates), or two different time periods (for example, 2010 injury rates compared to 2015). Age-adjustment accounts for differences in age composition across populations and time. We use the Standard U.S. Population for Year 2000 for age-adjustment. Rank of 13 major injury cause categories Rank is based on number of deaths and is not inclusive of all injuries. Injury cause categories in this option are mutually exclusive (see Technical Notes). If this option is selected, Steps 2, 6 and 7 will be skipped. Step 2. Select ONLY ONE option from the list below. The specific injury options listed below do not include ALL possible injury causes or manners. These options are also NOT mutually exclusive (for example, a motor vehicle death may also be classified as a traumatic brain injury death). Numbers and rates for specific types of injury deaths are based on underlying cause of death coding. The exception is for traumatic brain injury (TBI), which includes review of the contributing causes for manner of injury. ALL injury deaths Assault-related death/homicide (ANY manner of assault) Drowning Firearms: ALL OR choose one of the following manners of firearm death (not inclusive of all manners):Unintentional Assault Self-inflicted Poisoning: ALL OR choose one of the following:Non-drug-related poisoning Drug-related poisoning Suffocation Suicide: ALL OR choose one of the following methods of suicide (not inclusive of all methods):Firearm Poisoning Suffocation Cutting or piercing objects Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): ALL OR choose one of the following manners of TBI injury death (not inclusive of all manners):Unintentional fall-related TBI Unintentional struck by or against someone or something TBI Unintentional motor vehicle-related TBI Assault-related TBI Unintentional fall-related deaths Unintentional fire-related deaths Unintentional Motor Vehicle (MV) death: ALL OR choose one of the following types of MV death (not inclusive of all types):Occupant (may include the driver or passenger of motor vehicle) Motorcycle Pedal cyclist Pedestrian Step 3. Choose Area of Patient's Residence Hold down the control (Ctrl) key to select multiple counties, regions, or regional trauma council areas. Note: To see results for individual areas, choose "Geographic Area" as a ROW variable or COLUMN variable in Step 6 or 7 below.

Choose Year(s) Choose One or More Years Choose the year in which the patient was discharged. Note: WISH suppresses counts in cells that are less than 5 to comply with data privacy guidelines. Combine data years to increase cell counts.
