Abstract
The injury rate of servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces (AF) is an important indicator of the safety of professional activity.
Purpose.Main target is a comparative analysis of the injuries of conscripted servicemen of the Russian Navy and Ground Forces in 2003–2019.
Materials and methods.We examined medical reports on the state of health of the personnel and the activities of the medical service in the form 3/MED. The indicators of injuries were correlated with groups (blocks) of the XIX class «Injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of exposure to external causes» (S00–T98) of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10). Injury rates were calculated per 1,000 servicemen, or ‰.
Results and discussion. Average annual level of injuries among conscripts of the Russian Navy in 2003–2019. was 23.54±2.75‰, the Ground Forces — 11.23±0.96‰ (p <0.001). Leading injuries were identified, with a share in the structure of 1.5%, in total, which accounted for 74.8% of conscripted servicemen of the Russian Navy, 72.5% of servicemen of the Ground Forces. Accounting for medical and statistical indicators of injuries can be used to analyze injuries in specific units and units of the Russian Armed Forces.
