One in four patients treated in an emergency department for firearm injuries had been treated in a prior visit for injuries caused by a motor vehicle crash or other violent incident, according to new research presented during the American Academy of Pediatrics 2025 National Conference & Exhibition. The significant association between types of injuries could indicate a pattern of risky behaviors. The authors of an abstract, “Associational Analysis for Pediatric Firearm Injury Risk,” found that children and youth with firearm, non-firearm violent, and motor vehicle crash injuries visited a Midwest hospital system’s emergency department on multiple occasions within a four-year period. They will present their findings during the AAP national conference at the Colorado Convention Center from Sept. 26-30.
