The combined number of emergency room visits and hospital discharges for residents who where injured as a result of being physically abused (assaulted).

International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM) codes E960-E969 in combination with one of the first 10 diagnosis codes being 99554 (physical abuse of a child) or 99581 (physical abuse of an adult), or 99555 (shaken infant)if the age is over four. Exceptions include the following: E9601 (rape) is excluded; E9673(spouse abuse) is excluded unless the age is under 15. (If the age is under 15, a record with E9673 is included under the assumption that the type of abuse is miscoded, since it is rare in Missouri for children under age 15 to be married. Essentially, this just amounts to categorizing the record according to the diagnosis code (physical abuse) rather than the E-code (spouse abuse).)
