Article Abstract:
The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) proves to be an efficient system for monitoring nonfatal gunshot wounds and providing national estimates in the US. Failure to account for new hospitals with emergency departments and annual variations in the number of emergency department visits, affect the estimates. NEISS data is useful in studying seasonal changes and patterns of gunshot injuries during holidays and working days. The NEISS Firearm Injury Surveillance Study is useful in evaluating prevention programs.
