Injuries caused by knives can vary widely depending on the context, but estimates suggest that knife-related injuries account for approximately 20-25% of all injuries in certain settings, such as emergency departments. This percentage can differ based on factors like location, population, and the presence of violence or accidents. Overall, knife injuries are significant in discussions about public health and safety.
