Exploring Nonbattle Injury in the Deployed Military Environment Using the Department of Defense Trauma Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: The deployed military environment is dangerous and NBI presents a primary prevention target for expeditionary operations. The DoDTR is a database of detailed injury and medical care information and lacks much of the data required to perform a comprehensive epidemiologic NBI analysis. Specific prevention recommendations cannot be made based solely on DoDTR data and integration with other DoD databases that assess operational and tactical data should be considered.
