Investigation of firearm injury cases presented to training and research hospital’s emergency service
Öz: BACKGROUND: Firearm injuries are criminal events that may cause severe morbidity and mortality and concerned with EmergencyMedicine and Forensic Medicine. The present study aims to evaluate the wound characteristics of the cases who presented to emergency services due to firearm injuries.METHODS: In this study, 213 patients who were 18 years of age or older who applied to the Sağlık Bilimleri University BozyakaTraining and Research Hospital Emergency Service with gunshot injury were included.RESULTS: Of the 213 cases examined, 182 (85.4%) were male. The ages of the cases ranged from 18 to 78 years, and the mean age wasfound as 33.2±12.6. The most common months were April (n=28, 13.2%) and May (n=25, 11.6%). The findings showed that 194 (91.1%)of 213 patients were discharged after completing the treatment in the hospital, and 19 patients (8.9%) died despite all interventions.CONCLUSION: Our study presents an important cross-section of the gunshot injury patterns and their consequences in Turkey,but it contains regional data. In this regard, multicentre and multidisciplinary studies covering the country, in general, are consideredto be a significant contribution to the literature.

Öz: AMAÇ: Ateşli silah yaralanmaları, ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olan ve acil tıp ve adli tıp ile ilgili kriminal olaylardır. Çalışmamızın amacı, ateşli silah yaralanmaları nedeniyle acil servislere başvuran olguların yara özelliklerini değerlendirmektir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi İzmir Bozyaka Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Acil Servisi’ne ateşli silah yaralanması nedeniyle başvuran 18 yaş ve üzeri 213 olgu çalışmaya alındı. BULGULAR: İncelenen 213 olgunun 182’si (%85.4) erkekti. Olguların yaşları 18–78 yaş arası değişmekte olup yaş ortalaması 33.2±12.6 olarak bulundu. Yaralanmaların en sık Nisan (n=28, %13.2) ve Mayıs (n=25, %11.6) aylarında meydana geldiği tespit edildi. İki yüz on üç olgunun 194’ünün (%91.1) hastanedeki tedavileri tamamlandıktan sonra taburcu edildiği, 19 olgunun (%8.9) ise tüm girişimlere rağmen öldüğü belirlendi. TARTIŞMA: Çalışmamız Türkiye’deki ateşli silah yaralanma patern ve sonuçları hakkında önemli bir kesit sunmakta, ancak bölgesel veriler içermektedir. Bu konuda ülke genelini kapsayan çok merkezli ve multidisipliner çalışmaların literatüre ciddi katkıda bulunacağı düşünülmektedir.
