Assault is a global public health issue that affects individuals of all ages. This study describes the epidemiological profile of assault-related hospitalization and health outcomes across different age groups in New South Wales, Australia. Methods. Population-based linked hospitalization and mortality data from January 1, 2010, to June 30, 2014, were used to identify assault-related hospitalizations. Age-standardized rates were calculated and health outcomes were examined by age group. Results. There were 22 579 hospitalizations due to assault, with an age-standardized rate of 55.9 per 100 000 population (95% confidence interval = 55.2 to 56.70). Assault by bodily force (63.1%) and by sharp or blunt objects (21.6%) were the most common injury mechanisms. Individuals above 60 years had the highest mean hospital length of stay at 7.3 days, 30- and 90-day mortality, and average hospitalization costs at $9757. Conclusion. The findings have important implications in informing the development and strategies to reduce assault-related incidents in the community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1010539518821001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,31]],"date-time":"2018-12-31T04:45:03Z","timestamp":1546231503000},"page":"39-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Hospitalization Due to Assault Injury Across Different Age Groups, 2010 to 2014: A Population-Based Study in New South Wales, Australia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Seah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Draper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1010539518821001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthpol.2004.11.022"},{"key":"bibr2-1010539518821001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)11133-0"},{"key":"bibr3-1010539518821001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Fuller G.
