Injuries in Manitoba:  A 10-Year Review

This report examines injuries in Manitoba from 1992 to 2001. Tragically, during this time 5,702 Manitobans died as a result of injuries. As well, there were 120,611 hospitalizations for injuries in the province.

Deaths and hospitalizations due to injuries are preventable. This Report is designed to show the details of the burden of injury in our province to assist policy makers and service providers with planning for injury prevention. Because this is a surveillance report, it is descriptive rather than prescriptive.

The data used in this Report include all Manitobans. These data come from three sources. The data on injury deaths come from the Manitoba Vital Statistics Deaths Database. The population data come from Manitoba Health’s Registration System. The data on injury hospitalizations come from Manitoba Health’s Hospital Discharge Database. A detailed explanation of these data sets can be found in Appendix 1.
