Abstract

The economic costs of trauma to the United States were analyzed by taking latest available data from United States Vital Statistics and using models to convert to dollar costs for trauma fatalities and nonfatalities. Trauma cost the nation approximately $61.025 billion dollars in fiscal 1982 (1977 figures indexed to 1982 dollars). This included $19.278 billion for direct costs (treatment related) and $41.746 billion in indirect costs (forgone earnings).
