This investigation was conducted during the war in Croatia from 1991 to 1993. General characteristics, traumas, and frequency of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were compared in three groups of soldiers: (1) soldiers who sustained non-disabling injuries; (2) soldiers who sustained permanently disabling injuries; (3) active soldiers (controls). Significant differences were found in general characteristics and in PTSD in the groups observed. Both groups of wounded soldiers were significantly younger (mean of 8 years), fewer of them were married, and they had fewer children than active soldiers (controls). The differences in marital status and the number of children were obviously due to the age difference. Soldiers who sustained non-disabling injuries developed PTSD significantly more often than soldiers who sustained permanently disabling injuries and active soldiers (controls). Possible reasons for the differences of PTSD in compared groups of soldiers are discussed.
这项调查于1991年至1993年克罗地亚战争期间进行。对三组士兵的一般特征、创伤及创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生率进行了比较：（1）受非致残性伤害的士兵；（2）受永久性致残性伤害的士兵；（3）现役士兵（对照组）。在所观察的组中，一般特征和PTSD方面存在显著差异。两组受伤士兵明显更年轻（平均小8岁），结婚的更少，且孩子比现役士兵（对照组）更少。婚姻状况和孩子数量的差异显然是由于年龄差异。受非致残性伤害的士兵患PTSD的比例明显高于受永久性致残性伤害的士兵和现役士兵（对照组）。文中讨论了所比较的几组士兵中PTSD存在差异的可能原因。
