Healio (6/20, Herpen) reports, “Serious injuries sustained in combat by male soldiers from the United Kingdom were associated with poor mental health outcomes, and the type of injury influenced the severity of the outcome,” researchers concluded in data acquired “via the ongoing ADVANCE cohort study, which included 579 combat-injured participants (418 with non-amputation injuries, 161 with amputation injuries) and 565 uninjured participants recruited between August 2015 and August 2020.” The findings were published in the July issue of The Lancet Psychiatry.
