In a 3-year period (1981-1984), 52 male patients aged 10-60 years were treated for fresh gunshot wounds. The injuries varied from minor soft tissue injuries to major organ and tissue damage, and were all sustained by low-velocity missiles. Six of the patients (11.5%) died of their injuries or complications while 46 (88.46%) survived and were discharged after 1-15 weeks (a mean hospital time of 3 weeks). Some of the patients were treated before referral and for some there was a delay of more than 48 h before definitive specialist treatment. Mortality was related to the severity of wounding and the delay before treatment.
在1981年至1984年的3年期间，52名年龄在10至60岁的男性患者接受了新鲜枪伤治疗。损伤范围从轻微的软组织损伤到主要器官和组织损伤，均由低速导弹造成。6名患者（11.5%）因伤或并发症死亡，46名患者（88.46%）存活，并在1至15周后出院（平均住院时间为3周）。一些患者在转诊前接受了治疗，部分患者在明确的专科治疗前延迟了超过48小时。死亡率与受伤的严重程度和治疗前的延迟有关。
