  • *Multinomial logistic regression compares the odds of injury deaths to the odds of remaining alive by predictor covariate category values, after adjusting for age–sex or other covariates.

  • †Mutually adjusted for all predictor covariates presented in this table.

  • Results in bold typeface were significant at p<0.05.
