Definitions and methodology External causes of injuries registered by health care service providers. Also injuries from previous period that still needed treatment are reflected in one year's data. At the same time, injuries that happen at the end of the year but for which the health insurance claim is received the following year are excluded from the one-year statistics.
If main diagnosis is not mentioned then these cases have S00-T75 as main diagnosis (according to ICD-10). Cause is unknown if external cause is not registered or there have been registered several external causes belonging to different categories for that case.
The place of residence is the county according to the population register. 'County unknown' is included under 'Estonia'. 'Residence unknown' is included under 'All places of residence' but not under 'Estonia'.
Every person is represented once within one category of external causes, regardless of the number of injuries during the year. If one person is injured for various causes, he or she appears in several categories of external causes, but for example on line 'Accidents (V01-X59)' only once.
If the person's sex is unknown then these cases are included only under the corresponding county's 'Men and women' section. 19.06.2024 updated data for 2022.
