  • The number of people who died instantly or within 30 days of the accident

In 2005, the definition of the killed "person who died instantly or within 6 days after the accident" changed and became "person who died immediately or within 30 days after the accident" and the definition of hospitalized injured "victim admitted as a patient in a hospital for more than 6 days” becomes “victim admitted as a patient in a hospital for more than 24 hours”.

This change in definition creating a break in the series in the count of deaths, an estimate of the number of deaths at 30 days from the number of deaths at 6 days, by applying the increasing coefficients (1.09 from 1948 to 1992, 1.057 from 1993 to 2003 and 1.069 in 2004), displays the long series from 1948 to 2023 (provisional).
