| Sumario: | Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic profile, morbidity and mortality and spatial distribution of victims of firearms injuries attended by the mobile emergency care service. Methods: cross-sectional study of the care records of 603 firearm injury victims attended by the Mobile Emergency Care Service. Descriptive statistics, univariate association analysis and Kernel map were used for spatialdistribution. Results: most of the victims were male (94%), aged between 21 and 30 years (61.5%). Most deaths (73.7%) occurred in this same age group. The spatial distribution showed the majority of victims in conurbated municipalities in the metropolitan region, with high morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: there was a higher prevalence of victims and deaths in men, aged 21 to 30 years, with headand neck injuries and multiple sites. In this sample it was not possible to establish a statistically significant relationship between the cities of the occurrences, butthere are quite expressive focuses in the cities of Sarandi and Paiçandu. The results can provide input to formulate public policies for preventing violence and preparing for emergency care. |
