Annualized new disability weights were calculated for admitted cases sustaining injuries in 31 EUROCOST groups (Table 5). These new weights were lower than the corresponding Integration of European Injury Statistics weights for all but three groups – facial fractures, open facial wounds and spinal cord injuries (Table 5) – and higher than the corresponding new weights for cases not admitted to hospital, several of which were close to – or less than – zero (Table 6).
