Association between conflict intensity and health outcomes in contemporary conflicts, while accounting for the vulnerability and functioning of healthcare services.

Background: Armed conflict can be described as human development in reverse. In addition to the direct consequences of violence, there are numerous ways in which armed conflict may have indirect effects on people's health and well-being. Studies give varying results, and health impacts seem to differ from context to context.

Measuring socioeconomic outcomes in trauma patients up to one year post-discharge: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Trauma accounts for nearly one-tenth of the global disability-adjusted life-years, a large proportion of which is seen in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Trauma can affect employment opportunities, reduce social participation, be influenced by social support, and significantly reduce the quality of life (QOL) among survivors. Research typically focuses on specific trauma sub-groups.

Measuring post-discharge socioeconomic and quality of life outcomes in trauma patients: a scoping review.

Purpose: Trauma is a global public health challenge. Measuring post-discharge socioeconomic and quality-of-life outcomes can help better understand and reduce the consequences of trauma.

Methods: We performed a scoping review to map the existing research on post-discharge outcomes for trauma patients, irrespective of the country or setting in which the study was performed.

Comparative analysis of gender differences in outcomes after trauma in India and the USA: case for standardised coding of injury mechanisms in trauma registries.

Introduction: While females generally have better outcomes than males after traumatic injury, higher mortality has been shown to occur in females after intentional trauma in lower-income countries. However, gender differences in trauma outcomes in different countries have not been previously compared. We conducted a two-country comparative analysis to characterise gender differences in mortality for different mechanisms of injury.

Lessons from the frontline: using experiences from conflict zones to improve trauma care and outcomes.

Over the years healthcare services during conflict have informed healthcare practice especially in trauma care. Conflict zones have constraints not very different from low-resource settings specifically in dealing with urban violence. Yet, there is limited in-depth study on conflict medicine.
