Welcome to WISQARSTM
WISQARSTM (Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System) is an interactive database system that provides customized reports of injury-related data. Learn more about WISQARSTM >>
NOTE TO USERS: The Nonfatal Injury Reports module has been updated with new national-level population estimates based on recently released bridged-race intercensal estimates of the July 1, 2001-July 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010 resident population of the United States. See U.S. Census Populations With Bridged Race Categories. However, population estimates for the Fatal Injury Reports and Violent Death (NVDRS) Reports will not be updated until March or April of 2012 when state level bridged-race intercensal population estimates will be made available.
Fatal Injury Data
Death certificate data from the National Vital Statistics System — deaths, death rates, and years of potential life lost (a measure of premature death) by specific causes of injury mortality and common causes of death.
Nonfatal Injury Data
National estimates of injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System - All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP) — nonfatal injuries and nonfatal injury rates.
Violent Deaths (NVDRS)
Data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) — violent incidents and deaths, death rates, and causes of injury mortality. Data provided for 16 states and are not nationally representative.
New! Cost of Injury Reports
Motor Vehicle Traffic Deaths and Estimated Lifetime Medical Costs, by Sex, 2005
WISQARS™ provides cost estimates for injury deaths (including violent deaths) and nonfatal injuries where the patient was treated and released from a hospital or ED.
Mapping Module
The map to the right shows geospatially smoothed, age-adjusted motor vehicle traffic death rates by county (highest rates are shown in brown). Motor vehicle traffic death rates were generally higher in rural areas in the United States from 2000 to 2006.
