Rate of emergency hospital admissions caused by exposure to animate mechanical forces in children aged 0-4 years per 100,000 resident population (17164) Metric type
- Help text
- Rate of emergency hospital admissions caused by exposure to animate mechanical forces in children aged 0-4 years per 100,000 resident population. This includes accidental injuries caused by another person, as well as contact (bites, stings and impacts) from animals and plants.
Injuries are a leading cause of hospitalisation and represent a major cause of premature mortality for children and young people. They are also a source of long-term health issues, including mental health related to experience(s). The inclusion of this indicator, as one of the five most common causes of childhood injury admissions is key for cross-sectoral and partnership working to reduce injuries, including child safeguarding. Local authorities and CCG's can use this indicator to inform child safety campaigns and service provision.
