An analysis of injuries and prehospital interventions sustained by females in the Iraq and Afghanistan combat zones.

CONCLUSIONS: Females accounted for a small proportion of total casualties within our dataset. After controlling for confounders, survival was comparable between males and females, but host nation females were less likely to receive ketamine and intravenous morphine. Future studies should seek to elucidate the reasons for these subtle differences between males and females in prehospital combat casualty care. PMID: 30587052 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
