2011 Review on the Extension of the AMedP-8(C) Methodology to New Agents, Materials, and Conditions
Abstract
This review is the third in a series of annual reviews on the extension of the casualty estimation methodology described in Allied Medical Publication8 (C): NATO Planning Guide for the Estimation of CBRN Casualties (AMedP-8(C)). The first two reviews focused on (1) prioritizing additional agents to be modeled and (2) describing a methodology and estimated level of effort for incorporating medical countermeasures into AMedP-8(C) models for agents of various types. The 2011 review focuses on the effort required to meet the priorities evinced in discussions with sponsors within Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) and the Joint Staff. These priorities include (1) updating existing models by incorporating new data from ongoing medical countermeasure research programs and from recent large-scale disease outbreaks; (2) extending AMedP-8(C) to fill identified gaps in areas where the Common User Database (CUD) incorporates patient conditions that have no corollary within AMedP-8(C); (3) developing new human response models for agents of interest, as required; (4) incorporating chemical human response models developed by Applied Research Associates (ARA); and (5) extending AMedP-8(C) to include psychological casualty estimates.
