Table 7 CISS (2017–2022) proportions and relative risks for all exposed occupants. Table summarizes the proportion (95th percentile confidence interval) of each injury type experienced in rollover crashes (top row) and the relative risk (95th percentile confidence interval) of experiencing each injury type in a rollover crash compared to a non-rollover crash for all occupants (first row of relative risks) and for subgroups of female/male, belted/unbelted, and ejected/not ejected occupants (bottom pairs of rows of relative risks)
