Injury Indicators Sample Clauses
The Injury Indicators clause defines the criteria or signs used to determine whether an injury has occurred under the terms of an agreement or policy. It typically outlines specific symptoms, medical findings, or circumstances that must be present for an incident to be classified as an injury, such as visible wounds, medical diagnoses, or reports from healthcare professionals. By establishing clear indicators, this clause ensures consistency in identifying qualifying injuries, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes over coverage or liability.

The male and female age-adjusted rates were 118.9 and 51.5, respective- ly. The age-adjusted rate for injury-related inpatient hospitalizations per 100,000 population was 475.5 per 100,000 Kentucky resident population in 2018. The male and female age-adjusted rates were 466.6 and 469.0, respectively. The age-adjusted rate for injury-related emergency department visit discharges per 100,000 Kentucky resident population was 10,850 in 2018. The male and female age-adjusted rates were 11,028.4 and 10,614.1, respectively. There were 3,841 injury mortalities among Kentucky residents in 2018. The leading mecha- nisms of injury mortality for Kentucky residents in 2018 were poisonings (1,319), firearms (719), and motor vehicle traffic crashes (626). Ninety five percent of the poisonings were drug poisonings. Among the drug poisonings (1,250), 95% were unintentional drug overdoses in- volving prescription medications and/or illicit drugs. The leading injury mechanisms among in- tentional deaths (suicides and homicides) were firearms (68%) and suffocation/hanging (19%). There were 962 mortalities from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), where TBI was reported as a cause of death on the death certificate alone or in combination with other injuries or conditions. TBI-related mortalities were either intentional (50%) or unintentional (50%). There were 23,379 injury-related inpatient hospitalization encounters among Kentucky resi- dents in 2018. The leading mechanisms of injury-related inpatient hospitalizations were falls (11,991), drug poisonings (3,609), and motor vehicle traffic crashes (2,474). The majority of unintentional fall-related hospitalizations occurred among Kentucky residents age 55 years and older (8...

The three leading causes of injury mortality in Kentucky — poisonings (33%), suicides (19%), motor vehicle traffic crashes (19%) — all increased over year 2014 levels. The injury morbidity rate in Kentucky, as measured by hospitalization discharges, has steadily declined in recent years. In year 2015 this decline continued, with the age-adjusted rate of all cause injury-related hos- pitalizations per 100,000 population decreasing by 7.6% from 500.0 in 2014 to 492.4 in 2015. The motor vehicle traffic-related injury hospitalization discharge rate decreased, whereas, the rates for self-injuries (from 43.4 to 44.9 per 100,000 population) and poisonings (from 93.6 to 98.3 per 100,000 population), that include drug overdoses, increased. The leading causes of injury mortality in Kentucky residents in year 2015 were poisonings (1,316), suicides (761), and motor vehicle traffic crashes (757). Of the 1,316 poisonings, 1,238 (94%) were drug overdoses involving prescription medications and/or illicit drugs. The leading causes of violent deaths were suicide by firearm (494), suicide by suffocation/hanging (176), and homicide by firearm (173). Traumatic brain injury** (TBI) accounted for 989 fatalities. The leading causes of injury-related hospitalizations in Kentucky were unintentional falls (11,582), poison- ings (4,352), and motor vehicle traffic crashes (2,478). The leading cause of unintentional fall-related hospi- talizations was due to falls occurring on the same level (3,841). Of the 4,352 poisonings, 1,770 (41%) were suicidal, 1,587 (36%) unintentional, and 991 (23%) undetermined intents. TBI** accounted for 2,952 hospi- talizations.
