| 1 The war-related categories include deaths due to late effects of injuries from war. Deaths occurring overseas during | ||||||||||||
| military activities are registered with the U.S. Department of State and are not reported to the Center for Health Statistics. | ||||||||||||
| 2 Rate per 100,000 population age-adjusted to U.S. 2000 population. | ||||||||||||
| 3 Group totals are shown in parentheses. Adverse Effects are not included in the total of All Injuries. | ||||||||||||
| 4 NEC: Not elsewhere classified. | ||||||||||||
| * Rate not calculated because number of deaths was less than 5. | ||||||||||||
| -- No ICD-10 codes available for this category. | ||||||||||||
| Note: Rates based on fewer than 20 deaths are likely to be unstable and imprecise. | ||||||||||||
| With the exception of drowning, bites/stings, all transport, and sequelae, cause-of-death categories for this table | ||||||||||||
| follow the guidelines of National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) International Collaborative Effort (ICE) on Injury | ||||||||||||
| Statistics. These groupings differ from previously published Vital Statistics reports and from other NCHS groupings. | ||||||||||||
