The article presents the results of a research study into the reasons for medical evacuations of Polish military personnel taking part in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operation in Afghanistan from 2007 to 2013.
The authors have analysed medical records of 485 soldiers who were medically evacuated out of a combat zone in Afghanistan for battle injuries, non-battle injuries and diseases. Each medically evacuated Polish soldier was subjected to statistical analysis. The study population comprised 25,974 soldiers assigned to the Polish Military Contingent Afghanistan in the given period.
From 2007 to 2013, 1.9% of the Polish military personnel (n = 485) participating in the ISAF operation in Afghanistan were evacuated for medical reasons before the scheduled termination of their contract. 40.6% of all medical evacuations were due to battle injuries, 32.4% due to non-battle injuries, and 27.0% due to diseases.
ISAF is an example of a combat operation, in which battle injuries remain the leading health problem in mission participants. 3 of 4 Polish soldiers who were medically evacuated from Afghanistan were no longer fit for military service in the area of operations due to the traumas they had suffered.
本文介绍了一项关于2007年至2013年参与阿富汗国际安全援助部队（ISAF）行动的波兰军事人员医疗后送原因的研究结果。
作者分析了485名因战伤、非战伤和疾病从阿富汗战区进行医疗后送的士兵的医疗记录。对每一名接受医疗后送的波兰士兵进行了统计分析。研究对象包括在给定时期内被派往波兰驻阿富汗军事特遣队的25974名士兵。
2007年至2013年，参与阿富汗ISAF行动的波兰军事人员中有1.9%（n = 485）在合同预定结束前因医疗原因被后送。所有医疗后送中，40.6%是由于战伤，32.4%是由于非战伤，27.0%是由于疾病。
ISAF是一次作战行动的例子，其中战伤仍然是任务参与者的主要健康问题。从阿富汗接受医疗后送的4名波兰士兵中有3名因所受创伤而不再适合在行动地区服兵役。
