Prevalence of HIV-Seropositivity and Associated Impact on Mortality among Injured Patients from Low-and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Given the data limitations, further study of the HIV-injury intersection is crucially needed. PMID: 28933280 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
