Abstract
Nine hundred fifty-two patients with gunshot wound injuries admitted b etween July 1, 1989 and June 30, 1990 in a level one trauma center in South Central Los Angeles were studied retrospectively. The authors at tempted to define those periods that gunshot injuries were most likely to occur, to characterize the involved high-risk populations, and to estimate direct and indirect cost of care to society.
