Five age groups (0\u20136, 7\u201318, 19\u201364, 65\u201374, and \u226575 years) were defined according to the original classifications used in the data sources. Age-specific crude rates were calculated using mid-year population denominators from Statistics Korea.Results: Emergency department (ED) visit rates were highest among children aged 0\u20136 years (2312\/100 000) and adults aged \u226575 years (2121\/100 000). Despite comparable ED visit rates, the within-NEDIS ED admission rate increased from 2.6% among children aged 0\u20136 years to 42.9% among adults aged \u226575 years. The hospitalization rate among adults aged \u226575 years (4852\/100 000) was 2.6 times higher than that among adults aged 65\u201374 years (1832\/100 000). Among adults aged \u226575 years, the mortality rate was 32.5\/100 000, and this age group accounted for 45.4% of all fall-related deaths.Conclusions: Fall-related injury burden among adults aged \u226575 years was disproportionately concentrated at the hospitalization and mortality stages. These findings suggest that fall prevention strategies for aging populations should consider the downstream burden beyond ED visits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3961\/jpmph.26.053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]],"date-time":"2026-07-13T23:57:38Z","timestamp":1783987058000},"page":"403-410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3961\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Stage-specific
