“…Demographic characteristics that have been identified as risk markers for assaultive injury, in both the United States and New Zealand, include being young, male, of a minority race, single, and unemployed and living in an urban environment.-5 Studies in the United States have suggested that the extent to which these demographic factors are predictors is dependent on socioeconomic level, as measured by level of poverty and household crowding.4 '6 Few studies have examined previous injury as a risk factor for assaultive injury. [7][8][9][10][11][12] supplementary classification of external causes of injury and poisoning,14 commonly referred to as E-codes. The Ecodes permit the identification and enumeration of patients classified under a variety of categories relating to "environmental events, circumstances, and conditions.…”

OBJECTIVES. This study sought to determine the degree to which injury hospitalization, especially for assaultive injury, is a risk for subsequent hospitalization due to assault. METHODS. A New Zealand hospitalization database was used to perform a retrospective cohort study. Exposure was defined as an injury hospitalization, stratified into assaultive and nonassaultive mechanisms. Hospitalizations for an assault during a 12-month follow-up period were measured. RESULTS. Individuals with a prior nonassaultive injury were 3.2 times more likely to be admitted for an assault than those with no injury admission (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.7, 3.9). The relative risk associated with a prior assault was 39.5 (95% CI = 35.8, 43.5), and the subsequent admission rate did not vary significantly by sex, race, or marital or employment status. Among those readmitted for an assault, 70% were readmitted within 30 days of the initial hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS. Prior injury is a risk for serious assault, and the risk is even greater if the injury is due to assault. Risk of readmission for assault is largely independent of demographic factors and greatest within 30 days of the initial assault.

“…Direct literature comparisons are limited because this longitudinal study, to our knowledge, is the first to comprehensively characterize such a broad range of firearm violence outcomes among a systematically sampled cohort of assault-injured youth. Observed rates of firearm behaviors, however, are higher than those in national adolescent samples, 50,51 as well as in previous ED-and school-based studies that have focused on either violent injury recidivism 19,[52][53][54] or examined surrogate markers (eg, firearm possession/carriage; severe peer violence) 13,46,55,56 for firearm violence. Our results highlight that an ED assault-injury visit is an important indicator of future firearm violence risk and emphasize the substantial need for evidence-based interventions addressing this risk.…”

“…[27][28][29][30][31][32] Urban adolescents seen after a gunshot injury are more likely to die from a subsequent and similar injury than from any other illness or condition for which they seek care, 33,34 and the mental health sequelae (posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], depression) directly related to the traumatic event are just beginning to be studied. A study conducted in an urban ED found that women who disclose IPV victimization are at risk for future IPV over the next few months, including injuries that require medical attention.…”

The 2009 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference working group session participants developed recommendations and research questions for violence prevention in the emergency department (ED). A writing group devised a working draft prior to the meeting and presented this to the breakout session at the consensus conference for input and approval. The recommendations include: 1) promote and facilitate the collection of standardized information related to violence victimization and perpetration in ED settings; 2) develop and validate brief practical screening instruments that can identify those at risk for perpetration of violence toward others or toward self; 3) develop and validate brief practical screening instruments that can identify victims at risk for violent reinjury and mental health sequelae; and 4) conduct efficacy, translational, and dissemination research on interventions for violence prevention. The work group emphasized the critical need and role of ED-based research to impact surveillance and prevention of future violence-related injury.
