Table A3. Injury counts for each functional group (AIS 2+), with the percent of injury occurrence in parentheses
(injury count/total number of occupants in that crash scenario). The overall population is described as Unweighted
Count (Weighted Percent), while the matched population is described as Unweighted Count (Unweighted Percent).
Functional groups found to have significantly higher injury risk in matched ME vs SE are bolded.

false discovery rates. Functional groups found to be statistically significant are bolded.
