COST OF INJURY DATA**** Total Combined Lifetime Medical and Work Loss Cost of Unintentional Fatal and Nonfatal Injuries WISQARSTM provides cost estimates for injury deaths (including violent deaths) and nonfatal injuries where 300

the patient was treated and released from a hospital 250 or ED. Cost of injury reports include: ■■ Medical costs (e.g., treatment and rehabilitation) 200 ■■ Work loss costs (e.g., lost wages, benefits, and 150 self-reported household services) Nonfatal ED-treated and released injuries ■■ Combined costs (medical plus work loss) 100 ■■The opportunity to generate cost estimates by Nonfatal injuries requiring hospitalization using national data or by entering your own case 50 counts for geographic areas (e.g., counties) or Death groups of interest (e.g., hospitalized patients with 0 Males Females traumatic brain injuries) and applying average *Unintentional includes motor vehicle fail, cut/pierce, fire/burn, struck by/against, costs from national data and other mechanisms

**** Cost of injury data are based on medical and work loss costs in 2010. Cost estimates for more recent years will be available in the future. Fatal data are from NVSS. Nonfatal data are from NEISS-AIP. Estimated unit lifetime medical and lifetime work loss costs were developed by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE).
