Nil or rounded to zero. Source: AIHW (unpublished) National Hospital Morbidity Database. Categories are based on ICD-10-AM classification of diseases (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Australian Modification). Non-fatal refers to records where the hospitalisation was not equal to died. Data include all separations with a principal diagnosis of injury or poisoning (S00-T98) and a first reported external cause in the range X85-Y09. This specification is different to that used in previous OID reports. Non-Indigenous includes hospitalisations of non-Indigenous people and for WA only also those for whom Indigenous status was not stated. Rate ratio is the age standardised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hospitalisation rate divided by the non-Indigenous Australians' hospitalisation rate. Age standardised (AS) rates were directly age standardised to the 2001 Australian population. Rates per 100 000 population are calculated using ABS Estimated Resident Population by remoteness classification based on the 2011 Census. Data are from public and private hospitals in all jurisdictions. Disaggregation by remoteness area is based on the ABS' 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) and relates to the patient's usual residence, not the location of hospital. Hence, rates represent the number of separations for patients living in each remoteness area divided by the total number of people living in that remoteness area.
