Description:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the long-term outcomes of battlefield trauma casualties and to compare these outcomes to those of a similar group of non-battlefield trauma individuals. The outcomes being investigated include medical (in particular cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis) and psychosocial outcomes. There is some evidence to suggest that battlefield trauma casualties may have some unfavourable outcomes but this evidence is limited. Also, the types of injuries sustained in previous conflicts are different from those sustained in recent conflicts and therefore it is still unclear whether or how the type of injuries we are seeing from Afghanistan will affect the long-term outcome of injured servicemen.
