Trauma Outcomes and UroGenital Health in OEF/OIF (TOUGH) - A Retrospective Cohort Study with Long-Term Follow-up

Abstract

There has been one peer-reviewed publication during the current reporting period: 1) Reed, AM, Judson CJ, Orman JA,Hudak SJ. Genitourinary Injuries Among Female U.S. Service Members During Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom: Findings from the Trauma Outcomes and Urogenital Health (TOUGH) Project. Mil Med. 2018; https://doi.org/10.1093/milmed/usx079. GU injuries among female Service Members (SMs) have comprised a small proportion of all GU injuries sustained by U.S. SMs during OIF/OEF. Renal injuries pre-dominated and genital/reproductive injuries were rare. With more females now serving in direct combat roles, the number of female SMs injured in future conflicts will likely increase. Thus, the unique anatomical and functional aspects of female GU injuries must be considered in future research, prevention, and long-term multidisciplinary care efforts.
