Characteristics and survival of hospitalized combat casualties during two major conflicts between Israel and Hamas: 2023 versus 2014
Our data demonstrated that more casualties who survived to hospital arrival were severely and multiply injured in the 2023 Israel-Hamas war as compared to the 2014 war. Despite the increased severity, in-hospital survival did not worsen though there was an increase in hospital resource utilization.
