No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Extremity wounds and fractures constitute the majority of war-associated traumatic injuries, both for civilians and combatants. War-associated injuries are often contaminated with foreign material, leading to infection. Wound infections is considered a major risk to life and restoration of function in war-wounded patients surviving past the first hours. In a cohort study the investigators aim to assess whether the infection itself affects patient outcome (i.e. amputation, death) when comparing patients with and patients without infection.
