The Impact of Area Deprivation Index, Geography, and Mechanism on Incidence of Ballistic Injury to the Upper Extremity
Upper extremity gunshot wounds in general are concentrated in census blocks with high ADI. Violent injuries in particular are more likely to occur in urban areas with high ADI, whereas patients with accidental, self-inflicted injuries are more geographically and socioeconomically diverse. These differing populations require unique approaches to reduce incidence and morbidity.
