Highlights
- •14% of patients returned with an unrelated trauma event within a mean of 21 months following initial injury.
- •Mental illness was noted in 57% of recidivists, versus 33% of the others, representing the greater risk factor for trauma recidivism.
- •Other predictors of recidivism included recreational drug use and history of ballistic or other assault.
