Comparing the top 100 attacks in the Global Terrorism Database: high injury rate versus high fatality rate attacks

CONCLUSION: High injury rate incidents place a heavy burden on the health care system as the number of injuries is nearly ten times as high as the number of injuries in high fatality rate incidents. Epidemiological analysis of high impact terrorist events may contribute to counter-terrorism preparedness, to an increased focus on dealing with CBRN-events, and thus to a proper medical response to future terrorist events.PMID:38284807 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2024.2312493
