Abstract
Research objective. Calculate the injury rates among conscripts during 2003-2019 years using an integral assessment to improve medical support and ensure the security of military service. Materials and methods. We studied annual medical reports about health status and morbidity of conscripts in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (form №3/med) for 2003-2019. Results. Average annual injury rate among conscripts in 2003-2019 was 20.64±2.03%, proportion in the structure of primary morbidity for all chapters of ICD-10 was 1.3±0.1%, hospitalizations - 14.74±0.98% and 1.6±0.2%, days away from work - 325.2±17.3% and 3.9±0.3%, dismission rates - 0.56±0.05% and 3.5±0.3%, mortality - 25.20±4,42per 100 000 conscripts and 75.1±5.7%, respectively. With different in significance coefficients of determination polynomial trends of the listed medical and statistical indicators demonstrate a data decrease. In the structure of the constructed integral assessment 83.8% accounted for the sum of the proportions of injuries of the shoulder girdle and upper limbs (group 8-10), pelvis and lower limbs (group 5-7), head injuries (group 1), injuries affecting several areas of the body (group 11), consequences of trauma, poisoning and other influences of external causes (group 22). Conclusion. Analysis of the data on injuries of conscripts using an integral assessment will improve medical support in order to maintain health, conduct targeted and high-quality prevention of injuries while ensuring the safety of military service.
