Recent reports of physical and neuropsychological syndromes putatively associated with service in the Persian Gulf War and ostensibly providing evidence for Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) are critically reviewed. Major methodological weaknesses are identified in the studies and it is contended that there is no solid evidence for GWS at this time. Suggestions are given for future investigations of symptoms associated with service during the Gulf War which may accurately lead to a tangible identification of a war-related illness entity.
近期有关据称与海湾战争服役相关的身体和神经心理综合征的报告，表面上为海湾战争综合征（GWS）提供了证据，对此进行了批判性审查。研究中发现了主要的方法学缺陷，目前认为没有确凿证据证明存在海湾战争综合征。针对未来对海湾战争期间服役相关症状的调查提出了建议，这些调查可能会准确地导致明确识别出一种与战争相关的疾病实体。
