Aims: Cirrhotic patients have poor outcomes from traumatic<br />

injury. The impact of firearm injury in this population is unexplored.<br />

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and<br />

outcomes related to firearm injury related hospitalization in cirrhosis<br />

patients. Methods: We analyzed the Nationwide Inpatient<br />

Sample, 2009-2011. Patients were identified by having a<br />

primary or secondary discharge diagnosis associated with firearm<br />

injury. We utilized multivariable logistic regression models<br />

for the outcome of inpatient mortality. Deyo modification of the<br />

Charlson index was used to account for non-hepatic comorbidity.<br />

Results: A total of 348,823 discharge records were studied,<br />

of which 317,592 had cirrhosis alone, 26,044 had firearm<br />

injury without cirrhosis, and 2,730 had cirrhosis with firearm<br />

injury. Among cirrhotics with firearm injury, 910 (33.3%) were<br />

accidental and 1820 (66.7%) were assault related. Cirrhotics<br />

with firearm injury were younger compared to cirrhotics without<br />

firearm injury (54.9 vs 58.7 years, p
