According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency data in 2025, a total of 98,000 patients who visited emergency rooms at 29 hospitals last year were injured, and about 6,800 of them were found to be patients due to addiction such as drugs. In particular, the proportion of drug addicts in their 10s and 20s has increased by about twice compared to 10 years ago, and medication addiction was the most common. Falls and falls accounted for 40% of all injury causes, with children mainly experiencing falls at home and older adults visiting emergency rooms due to falls. The fatality rate of traffic accidents varied greatly depending on whether or not a safety belt was worn.
