Medical and statistical indicators of injuries among officers in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2003–2019)

Injury indicators for officers of the Armed Forces of Russia in 2003–2019 are analyzed. A selective statistical analysis of medical reports on the state of health of personnel according to the form of 3/МЕD military units was carried out, in which about 80% of the total number of officers of the Armed Forces of Russia served. Injury indicators by type of medical and statistical reporting were correlated with the groups in the 19th class «Injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of exposure to external causes» (S00-T98) of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Problems, 10th revision. The average annual level of injuries of officers from 2003 to 2019 was 17,59±1,37, their share in the structure of primary morbidity in all classes of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Problems, the 10th revision was 4,2±0,4%, the contribution to the structure of injuries of all servicemen of the Armed Forces of Russia was 32%. The average annual level of hospitalization, its share and contribution were 10,89±1,64‰, 6,1±0,5 and 26,3%, respectively. The average annual level of days of labor loss, their share and contribution amounted to 352,2±26,8‰, 8,4±0,7 and 33,8%, respectively. The average annual level of dismissal, its share and contribution were 0,38±0,70‰, 5,1±09 and 26%, respectively. The average annual mortality rate, its share and contribution amounted to 48,03±3,84 per 100 thousand officers, 39,6±1,9 and 40,7%, respectively. The dynamics show a decrease in the level and proportion of injuries in the structure of the analysed medical and statistical types of incidence. The level and structure of injury groups in the 19th grade of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Problems, the 10th revision, as well as the structure of types of injuries of body regions are presented. A military epidemiological assessment of the significance of injuries for negative consequences for the health of officers was designed. Structure and dynamics of injury circumstances structure are shown. Medical and statistical indicators of injuries among officers determine the strategy and tactics of safe conditions of military-professional activity, injury prevention, health and rehabilitation measures.
