Hospital admissions in the Hunter Region from trees and other falling objects, 2008-2012.

CONCLUSIONS: Hospital admissions caused by falling objects especially trees are uncommon. Implications for Public Health: It is difficult to justify any major health promotion expenditure to reduce tree-related accidents, given their especial rarity. Any funds allocated should focus on preventing falling object injuries in workplaces and homes. PMID: 27868352 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
