The effect of explosive remnants of war on global public health: a systematic mixed-studies review using narrative synthesis
2017, The Lancet Public HealthCitation Excerpt :Of the 21 studies that calculated case fatality ratios, nine13,17,28,41,46,53,58,59,65 were hospital based so were likely to be underestimates as prehospital fatalities were excluded. Prehospital fatality ratios have been estimated at between 35% and 50%,14,68 so casualty estimates from all 15 hospital-based studies could therefore be too low. A worrying finding is the number of children injured and killed by landmines or UXO, a finding in line with a previous systematic review.6

2007, Medical Journal Armed Forces IndiaCitation Excerpt :In the pilot study conducted by Jahunlu et al [5], case fatality rate was estimated to be 36.4%.
