Firearm injury survivors may be at even higher risk for adverse outcomes. We aimed to characterize PTSD and depression risk, pain symptoms, and ongoing functional limitations in firearm injury survivors early after hospital discharge.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Firearm injury survivors seen in the Trauma Quality of Life (TQOL) outpatient follow-up clinic 1\u20132 weeks after discharge were invited to participate in a survey assessing both mental and physical health outcomes. The survey included the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the Injured Trauma Survivor Screen (ITSS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and the 12-item Short Form Survey Physical Health component (SF-12)<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>306 patients were seen in the TQOL Clinic, and 175 responded to the survey. The mean age was 32 years (SD=12), 81% were male, and 79% were black. On the ITSS, 69% and 48% of patients screened risk positive for PTSD and depression, respectively. Patients reported mild depression symptoms with an average BDI score of 14.3 (SD=11.8) and elevated PTSD symptoms with an average PCL-5 score of 43.8 (SD=12.8). Patients with severe BPI scores were more likely to screen positive for depression and PTSD. Respondents scored &gt;2\u2009SD below the US national average on the SF-12 for physical quality of life (M=28.7). 12% of patients were at risk across all four domains of pain, PTSD, depression, and physical function.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Early after discharge, over two-thirds of firearm injury survivors were at risk for the development of PTSD, nearly half were at risk of depression, and physical function was significantly decreased.
