They concluded that there were an estimated 35,800 firearm-related hospital admissions nationwide in 1997, similar to what the emergency room data predicted.
About 7 percent of people died from their injuries, 12 percent went to other health facilities for rehabilitation or other care, and 75 percent recovered and went home, according to the study.

Not necessarily. "Dead at the scene" bodies don't count as hospital admissions.

I wonder what proportion of those injuries were accidents.
