Deaths and hospitalisations due to drowning, Australia 1999-00 to 2003-04

Injury research and statistics series no. 39

This report presents national statistics on deaths and hospitalisations due to drowning for the five-year period 1999-00 to 2003-04. Drowning occurs in a number of settings and contexts: in bodies of natural water, in swimming pools and bathtubs, in association with watercraft and as the result of intentional self-harm. Drownings resulting in death and hospitalisation are described in relation to these in terms of case numbers and rates, by age and sex, remoteness of usual residence, length of stay in hospital, and other characteristics. This report will be relevant to anyone interested in gaining an insight into patterns of fatal and non-fatal drowning and the burden they impose on the Australian community.

Hip fracture injuries

NISU briefing no. 8

The incidence of hip fractures is rising and projected to further increase in Australia due to the population growth in the oldest age groups, where hip fractures are the most common form of fracture. Hip fractures result in a large economic burden due to health expenditure in most industrialised countries and, hence, understanding the nature of hip fracture related hospitalisations and deaths is important.
