ICD-10 NJDOH External Cause of Injury

The NJDOH External Cause of Injury codes were grouped to be consistent with the External Cause of Injury Mortality Matrix for ICD-10 found on the NCHS website at https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/injury/ice/injury_matrix10.htm. These codes are used in the Injury Mortality Query Module.

Selections available in NJSHAD are numbered in the leftmost column. The codes are broken out by intent in the columns of the table.
