Patients in the group GSWwere admitted to the emergency department with more serious symptoms than patients in the group PSW(Triage level 2, GSW: 87.1%, PSW: 62.8% and Triage level 3, GSW: 12.9% vs. PSW: 37.2%), (p = 0.010).Hemothorax (25.8%) in PSW patients and pneumothorax (40.5%) in GSW patients was detected morefrequently. Surgical treatment was performed in 14.9% of patients with PSW, tube thoracostomy was performedin 24%, and 62.82% were treated with conservative treatment. Surgical treatment was performed in 35.5% ofGSW patients and tube thoracostomy was performed in 29%, and 48.4% were treated with conservativetreatment (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Despite the lower incidence of GSW than PSW in emergency departments, GSW require moresurgical intervention and have a higher mortality rate.
