Injury-Related Visit In the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey an emergency department visit was considered injury-related if, on the Patient Record Form (PRF), the checkbox for injury was indicated. In addition, injury visits were identified if the physician's diagnosis was injury related (ICD-9-CM code of 800-999), an external cause-of-injury code was present (ICD-9-CM E800-E999), or the patient's reason for visit code was injury related.
