Disease and Non-Battle Injury in Deployed Military: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: Disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) has historically been the leading casualty type among service members in warfare and a leading health problem confronting military personnel, resulting in significant loss of manpower. Studies show a significant increase in disease burden for DNBI when compared to combat-related injuries. Understanding the causes of and trends in DNBI may help guide efforts to develop preventive measures and help increase medical readiness and resiliency.

Conflict in Yemen has displaced millions and destroyed health infrastructure, resulting in the world's largest humanitarian disaster. The objective of this paper is to examine mortality in Yemen to determine whether it has increased significantly since the conflict began in 2015 compared to the preceding period. We analysed 91 household surveys using the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions methodology, covering 2,864 clusters undertaken from 2012-2019, and deaths from Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project database covering the conflict period 2015-2019.

Article Synopsis
- The concept of peace-through-health shows promise in conflict areas, but its success varies due to challenges like the cooptation of health initiatives by existing power structures.
- In the Syrian conflict, healthcare initiatives differ by level: those at state and interbelligerent levels often rely on international funding and centralized governance, making them vulnerable to political agendas, while community-level initiatives focus on basic health needs, allowing for better collaboration and reduced cooptation.
- A pilot health initiative that emphasized community involvement demonstrated the potential for peacebuilding, indicating that community-focused health interventions may be more effective than those at higher political levels, highlighting the need for further research on their effectiveness.
IDCRP Combat-Related Extremity Wound Infection Research.
Mil Med
May 2022
Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program, Preventive Medicine & Biostatistics Department, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Introduction: Extremity trauma is the most common battlefield injury, resulting in a high frequency of combat-related extremity wound infections (CEWIs). As these infections are associated with substantial morbidity and may impact wounded warriors long after initial hospitalization, CEWIs have been a focus of the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program (IDCRP). Herein, we review findings of CEWI research conducted through the IDCRP and discuss future and ongoing analyses.
