Qualitative assessment of combat-related injury patterns and injury prevention in Ukraine since the Russian invasion
The current conflict in Ukraine is characterised by a high prevalence of devastating combat-related injury, with limited measures for battlefield injury prevention. We believe that the provision of additional protective gear could mitigate the severity of some combat-related injuries, while the creation of a trauma registry would provide greater insight into prevention, wounding patterns, treatment and outcomes.
