Hospitalizations
Between 2010
and 2014 rates of hospitalization were almost twice as high in the NWHU as in
the province as a whole. On average, the rate in the NWHU area was 98.1 hospitalizations
per 100,000 per year, compared to the provincial rate of 55.7 per 10,000 per
year.
Rates in males have
been significantly higher than in females in the NWHU area. The average rate
for males between 2010 and 2014 was 131.68 per 100,000 per year, which is
almost double the female rate of 68.6 visits per 100,000 patients. Those aged
20-44 experienced the highest average rate of hospitalization at 127.1 visits
per 100,000 per year with those 75 and older following close behind at 113.3
visits per 100,000.

Mortality
Mortality rates from land transport
collisions between 2007 and 2011 were twice as high in the NWHU area compared
to provincial rates (10.5 deaths per 100,000 per year vs 5.2 per 100,000 per
year). This difference is statistically significant.
Mortality rates amongst
males in the NWHU were about three times as high as females; 16.0 per 100,000 per
year vs 5.2 per 100,000 per year. Rates were relatively consistent across the
age spectrum.
