PYLL = potential years of life lost. IPV = intimate partner violence. IPP = intimate partner problem. a This sample was used to calculate PYLL due to IPV across all NVDRS racial/ethnic groups. b A few deaths in the final sample were inappropriately endorsed for unknown circumstances of death and thus not in the original universe of cases (N = 147,296). We located these deaths using incident identification numbers. c We read medical examiner and law enforcement reports for all cases endorsed for IPV but without a specified victim-suspect relationship and all cases endorsed for IPP and/or jealousy but not IPV to determined eligibility. d This reduced sample was used in multivariate models and estimates of PYLL per death differences among groups.
