dc.description.abstractAim: Firearm-related injuries are causes of severe morbidity and mortality among pediatric injuries. An average number of pediatric firearm violence incidents for the USA is about 20 000 annually. In this study, we aimed to evaluate firearm injuries in the pediatric population. We aimed to contribute to national data on firearm violence characteristics. Material and Method: In total, eleven patients admitted to the emergency department during a 5-year period with firearm injury were evaluated. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), injured body part, consulting knowledge, hospital stay duration, and the healing and mortality rates of the patients were described. Results: The majority of the victims were male (n=8, 72.7%), the average age was 12.7 years, the average GC and IS scores at the presentation were 14.6 and 27.45, respectively. The cause of rime was not reported in a significant number of the cases (n8, 72.7%), and extremities were the most wounded area. No mortality was reported in the study. Discussion: Firearm injuries are one of the common medicolegal issues. Because of violence in society, children may frequently be subjected to firearm injuries during incidents of crossfire, peer violence, and family conflicts. To date, there is limited information on short-term clinical outcomes and resource utilization in pediatric patients who sustain a firearm injury. Firearm-related injury is a life-threatening emergency that contributes to 0.3% of the total pediatric mortality in childhood for our country. Evaluation of firearm violence characteristics will lead to a better understanding of the incidences and will aid in establishing preventive policies.en_US
