Frequency distribution of unintentional injury mortality by specific death causes (ICD-10) among refugees and immigrants compared with their Danish-born controls. Analyses are based on data from 1 January 1994 to 31 December 2007

*
The p value is estimated by a χ2 test and shows whether differences in all unintentional injury types between respectively migrants and their controls were significant or not.
