An abstract presented recently at the American College of Surgeons annual Clinical Congress provided a comprehensive look at all combat wounds in Iraq and Afghanistan during 2005-09. The research showed that 0.4 per cent of the almost two million service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan during this time period were injured, according to data from the US Army Institute of Surgical Research’s Joint Theater Trauma Registry (JTTR). The abstract data reveals the percentage of combat casualties resulting from explosive mechanisms continues to increase.
“Having JTTR data available to analyse not only provides a historical record of the evolving nature of the conflicts, but also helps shape army medicine’s response and highlights future areas for study,” said Captain Brendan J. McCriskin, MD, one of the study’s authors and an Army resident in the orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation department at William Beaumont Army Medical Center/Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso.
Lt Colonel Philip J. Belmont Jr., MD, Captain Ryan Sieg, MD, Colonel Robert Burks, MD and Major Andrew J. Schoenfeld, MD, also participated in the study.
