Gwen Bergen, PhD, Cora Peterson, PhD, David Ederer, MPH, et al.
MMWR 2014;63(Early Release):1-7
Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death and injury in the United States. To describe the current health burden and medical and work loss costs of nonfatal crash injuries, CDC analyzed data from 2012. The results of that analysis found that an estimated 2,519,471 ED visits resulted from nonfatal crash injuries, with lifetime medical cost of $18.4 billion. Approximately 7.5% of these visits resulted in hospitalizations that required an estimated 1,057,465 hospital days in 2012. |
