ABSTRACT
Structure of the gun-shot-explosive woundings (GSEW) of the peacetime, occurred in 35 children, was analyzed with refinement, concerning a weapon kind and motif of application, as well as clinic-epidemiological and clinic-nosological characteristics of injuries. Ðnalysis of the data was conducted in accordance to criteria and demands of evidence-based medicine, using the methods of nonparametric statistics and computeric technologies. Clinic-epidemiological characteristic of the wounded persons have had witnessed, that due to the GSEW accidents suffer children, ageing (11.97 ± 0.68) yrs, mainly boys. The main causes of GSEW were: careless handling of weapons - in 52.6% observations, hooligan's actions - in 28.9%.

Trustworthy connection between the signs of gender, age, the injuries character and volume was established, what gives a certain information about course of traumatic disease and risk of exitus lethalis
