We used trauma registries, electronic health records (EHR), and geospatial analysis, supplemented with Gun Violence Archive (GVA) and New York Police Department data to characterize and map incidents, excluding missing data.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Of n=176 patients, data on injury intent and circumstances were unavailable for 13% (n=22) and 22% (n=38), respectively. Most were male (n=161, 91%), Black (n=133, 76%), and adolescents (median 16\u00a0y, IQR: 15, 17) who sustained nonfatal (n=166, 94%) assaults (n=151, 98%). Limited available data suggests that identified assailants were unknown to the unintentional victims of community violence. Incidents largely occurred on weekdays (n=133, 76%); between 15:00 and 20:59 (n=72, 42%); and outside a residential home (n=149, 93%), including sidewalk\/street (n=85, 53%) and playground\/park\/basketball court (n=25, 16%). The most common circumstances were running\/jogging\/walking outside (n=54, 39%), altercation involvement (n=32, 23%), and drive-by (n=27, 20%). Fifty-four percent (n=72) of incidents occurred within 0.2 miles of public housing in 3 primary geospatial clusters. GVA and New York Police Department databases suggest between 39% and 46% capture of relevant incidents.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Regional gun violence data suffers from a lack of standardization and missingness across sources. Nonetheless, triangulating available data from trauma registries, EHR, GVA, and geospatial analysis, we found that most pediatric patients were Black, adolescent, unintended victims who sustained assaults on weekdays, outside a home, and within 0.2 miles of public housing in 3 primary clusters. These results may inform hospital data surveillance and ongoing evidence-based prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/pec.0000000000003436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,23]],"date-time":"2025-07-23T05:00:10Z","timestamp":1753246810000},"page":"801-809","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Circumstances Surrounding Pediatric Firearm Injuries in New York City"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Jennifer R.","family":"Grad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Kapi\u2019olani Medical Center for Women & Children, Honolulu, HI"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CUNY School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selin T.","family":"Sagalowsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics, NYU Grossman School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emelia M.","family":"Sulji\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"DiMaggio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olushola","family":"Fapo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Rainbow Babies and Children\u2019s Hospital, Cleveland, OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Fitzgerald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYC Health + Hospitals\/Kings County, Brooklyn"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haamid S.","family":"Chamdawala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgery, NYC Health + Hospitals\/Jacobi, Bronx"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Agriantonis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYC Health + Hospitals\/Elmhurst and Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.
