Abstract:

This study assessed the completeness of the recording of external cause of injury codes (E-codes) on North Carolina hospital discharge records, for those patients with an injury as the primary cause of admission. E-codes are important for public health efforts to identify how many people are hurt or die from injuries, as well as the causes of these injuries.
