To quantify the inflation-adjusted costs associated with initial hospitalizations for firearm-related injuries in United States.We used Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample to identify patients admitted from 2006 2014. We converted charges hospitalization costs, which we 2014 dollars. survey weights create national estimates.Costs inpatient totaled $6.61 billion. The largest proportion was governmental insurance coverage, totaling $2.70 billion (40.8%) divided...
Deaths and injuries from firearms are significant public health problems, clinicians in a unique position to identify risk among their patients discuss the importance of safe firearm practices. Although may be ill-prepared engage such discussions, an adequate body evidence is available for support, generally receptive this type discussion with physician. Here, we provide overview existing research recommended strategies counseling intervention reduce firearm-related death injury.
Background In 2015 there were 36,252 firearm-related deaths and 84,997 nonfatal injuries in the United States. The longitudinal burden of these through readmissions is currently underestimated. We aimed to determine 6-month readmission risk hospital costs for patients injured by firearms. Methods used Nationwide Readmission Database 2010–2015 assess frequency at 6 months, associated with injuries. produced nationally representative estimates risks costs. Results Of discharged following a...
Despite the widespread institution of modern massive transfusion protocols with balanced blood product ratios, survival for patients traumatic hemorrhage receiving ultramassive (UMT) (defined as ≥20 U packed red cells [RBCs]) in 24 hours) remains low and resource consumption high. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors associated mortality trauma UMT resuscitation era.An Eastern Association Surgery Trauma multicenter retrospective study 461 from 17 centers who received RBCs hours was...
Purpose Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, many medical professionals currently receive minimal or no education on firearm its prevention. The authors sought to convene diverse group national experts epidemiology, prevention, develop consensus priorities inform creation learning objectives curricula for professionals. Method In 2019, convened an advisory that was geographically, demographically, professionally diverse, composed 33...

To evaluate whether exposure to the United States discriminatory housing practice of redlining, which occurred in over 200 cities 1930s, is associated with modern-day, community-level incidence firearm injury.Firearm violence a public health epidemic within States. Federal policies are crucial both shaping and reducing risk violence; identifying that might have contributed risks also offers potential solutions. We analyzed 1930s practices US was injury.We performed nationwide retrospective...
Firearm injuries are an epidemic in the US; more than 45 000 fatal were recorded 2020 alone. Gaining a deeper understanding of socioeconomic factors that may contribute to increasing firearm injury rates is critical prevent future injuries.
Firearm injury and death are significant public health problems in the U.S. physicians uniquely situated to help prevent them. However, there is little formal training medical education on identifying risk for firearm discussing safe practices with patients. This study assesses prior education, barriers counseling, needs improved safety counseling inform development of future clinical strategies prevention.A 2018 survey administered 218 residents fellows at a large, academic center asked...
<h3>Importance</h3> Estimates of the total economic cost firearm violence are important in drawing attention to this public health issue; however, studies that consider more broadly needed further understanding extent which such costs can be avoided. <h3>Objectives</h3> To estimate association assaults with US hospital and deaths compared other assault types. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The 2016-2018 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample National Inpatient Sample, Healthcare Cost...
Firearm injuries are a costly, national public health emergency, and government-sponsored programs frequently pay these hospital costs. Understanding regional differences in firearm injury burden may be useful for crafting appropriate policies, especially with widely varying state gun laws.To estimate the volume of, costs for, fatal non-fatal from 2005 to 2015 each region of United States analyze proportionate cost by payer status.We used Healthcare Cost Utilization Project Nationwide...
Objective: To quantify the association between insurance and hospital admission following minor isolated extremity firearm injury. Background: The injury has not been examined. Methods: This was an observational retrospective cohort study of captured in Healthcare Cost Utilization Project State Inpatient Emergency Department Databases 6 states (New York, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Florida, Maryland) from 2016 to 2017 among patients aged 16 years or older. primary exposure insurance....
