The Body Parts Americans Injure Most
Data represents national estimates of emergency department-treated injuries from the CDC’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System – All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). Values reflect the five body parts with the highest total estimated injury counts across all injury causes in the dataset (Falls, Struck-By/Against, Motor Vehicle Occupant, Overexertion, and Other Specified). “Leading diagnosis” identifies the diagnosis code with the highest number of estimated cases for each body part.
