Emergency Department Visits. There were 508,141 injury-related emergency department (ED) visits among Kentucky resi- dents in 2017.The leading mechanisms of injury-related ED visits were falls (147,428), being struck by or against an object or person (67,488), motor vehicle traffic crashes (56,686), and overexertion (34,250). The leading mechanism of intentional injury-related ED visits was struck by/against (11,930). TBI (either TBI alone or in combination with other injuries) accounted for 11,652 ED visits. The majority of the TBI-related ED visits were unintentional (86%). Falls were the leading mecha- nism of TBI-related ED visits (39%).

Emergency Department Visits. In 2009, there were a total of 42,238 ED visits among children under the age of 18 in Florida with asthma listed as the primary diagnosis. While children under the age of 18 in Florida only make up about 22% of the state’s population, this group accounted for almost half (47.2%) of the total asthma‐related ED visits among all ages in 2009. Younger children had a larger number of ED visits than older children (Table 2). 0 ‐ 4 17,413 41.2% 5‐10 15,357 36.4% 11‐17 9,468 22.4% XX visits due to asthma are largely preventable with proper management and control. Healthy People 2020, a report providing science‐based 10‐year objectives for the health of all Americans, includes a national objective to reduce the rate of asthma ED visits to less than 95.5 per 10,000 (or 955 per 100,000) among children ages 0 to 4 and less than 49.1 per 10,000 (or 491 per 100,000) for children ages 5 to 17. In 2009, the crude rate of asthma ED visits in Florida for ages 0‐4 was 1,531.8 per 100,000 and the crude rate for ages 5‐17 was 823.8 per 100,000. Males (1,238.1) had a higher rate of ED visits than females (787.8). Black children had a higher rate of asthma ED visits (2,303.5) than white children (593.9), a notable disparity (Figure 8).
Emergency Department Visits. Notes: “
Emergency Department Visits. The leading causes of injury-related emergency department (ED) visits in Kentucky in 2010 were unintentional falls (136,204), motor vehicle traffic accidents (53,055), and accidentally being struck by or against an object or person (52,288). Unintentional falls were the leading cause of injury- related emergency department visits across the entire lifespan. The total number of injury-related ED visits reported in 2010 was 486,244. (Preliminary data sug- gest that this number increased modestly in 2011. However the 2011 numbers are provisional at this time and subject to change.) 2010 was the first year that ED visits were included in this report, so comparisons to previous years are not provided.
