Abstract:
KEYFINDINGS. More than 11% of patients presenting to a hospital with a violent injury return to a hospital with another violent injury within two to three years. Recurrent violent injury is common and costly. Effective prevention programs should also target high-risk patients in non-trauma centers where most receive care.
