Gunshot victims in Queens are more likely to die than those in other boroughs, with a dearth of trauma centers likely to blame, a report said Thursday.

Within two years of the February 2009 closure of a pair of local hospitals — St. John’s Queens Hospital in Elmhurst and Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica — the borough’s gunshot fatality rate jumped from less than 16-percent to more than 23-percent, according to The City.

The outlet — which pored over NYPD data on more than 12,000 shootings between 2010 and October 2018, with the help of The Trace and Measure of America — also found that in every year since the hospitals’ closure except 2016, Queens’ gunshot death-rate has exceeded the city average.

Other city areas lacking for nearby trauma centers include much of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn including Coney Island — but neither has the volume of shootings seen in southern Queens, underscoring the need.

Despite its size and the amount of shootings, Queens has the lowest number of trauma-center ICU beds per capita, and half as many as The Bronx, the next-lowest borough, the study found.

The area of Queens south of Hillside Avenue is the most hospital-starved pocket, with more residents living three-plus miles from a trauma center than anywhere else in the city, the report said.

The Rockaway Peninsula has only one hospital, St. John’s Episcopal, but it lacks a trauma center.

The last trauma center standing in southern Queens is Jamaica Hospital — and even that may be hanging on by a thread.

The Greater New York Hospital Association listed the facility on a Feb. 2019 “watch list” of hospitals in danger of closure, as it operated every year between 2005 and 2017 except one at a loss, the report noted.

“I’m not sure how you keep the doors open with that,” Dr. Robert Winchell, chief of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s trauma division told The City.
