TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Firearm-related deaths and hospitalizations--Wisconsin, 1994 JO - MMWR: Morbidity and mortality weekly report A1 - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA, SP - 757 EP - 760 VL - 45 IS - 35 N2 - Firearm-related injuries are a major cause of premature deaths in the United States. Although state-based vital records systems monitor fatal injuries, few surveillance systems exist to monitor nonfatal firearm-related injuries. Wisconsin is one of seven states funded by CDC cooperative agreements to establish firearm-related injury surveillance systems. Wisconsin's system, which links hospital discharge records and vital records, uses external cause of injury codes (E-codes) for case identification. This report describes the surveillance system and findings for 1994. LA - en SN - 0149-2195 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
