Female firearm injuries are a growing concern. While self-harm was linked to increased hospital stays and mortality, no single factor independently predicted death in women survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Female firearm injury incidence is increasing but understudied.
  • Focus on survivors reveals critical factors in firearm injury outcomes.
  • Understanding injury circumstances is vital for prevention and care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine factors associated with mortality in female firearm injury survivors.
  • To analyze the circumstances surrounding firearm injuries in women.
  • To identify predictors of mortality and morbidity in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, multicenter, mixed-methods study.
  • Involved 208 women with firearm injuries across five trauma centers (2012-2016).
  • Utilized regression analysis and qualitative thematic analysis.

Controlled Cervical Laceration Injury in Mice

Published on: May 9, 2013

Main Results:

  • Crude mortality rate was 14.4%.
  • Assault (72%) was the most common injury mechanism; most patients were Black (70%).
  • Self-harm, more prevalent in White women, was associated with longer hospitalization and showed a trend toward increased mortality (OR 3.08, p=0.07).

Conclusions:

  • Self-harm presents a race-patterned association with morbidity and mortality in female firearm injury survivors.
  • No single factor independently predicted mortality after adjustment.
  • Further prospective studies incorporating injury-severity data are recommended.
