Inpatient data for shore-based U.S. Marine Corps |
|
personnel serving in specified worldwide geographical |
|
regions during 1980- 1984 were extracted from historical |
|
medical files. Outpatient data were collected from a |
|
sample population of Marines serving aboard U.S. Navy |
|
ships during 1989 deployments. These data were matched |
|
against population data to provide inpatient and |
|
outpatient DNBI rates for specific geographical regions. |
|
Rates were computed for each of the major illness and |
|
injury categories defined in the International |
|
Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). The |
|
area with the highest overall hospital admission rates |
|
for shore-based Marines was the Northeast Asia region. |
|
The highest number of hospital admissions in all regions |
|
was for the Injury and Poisoning category, followed by |
|
Mental Disorders and Diseases of Digestive System. The |
|
area with the highest outpatient visit rates for deployed |
|
shipboard Marines was the European region |
|
(Atlantic/Mediterranean). The highest outpatient visit |
|
rates in all regions were for Diseases of the Digestive |
|
System in Europe and Northeast Asia, and Diseases of the |
|
Respiratory System in Southwest Asia. Although these |
|
results reflect DNBI rates under peacetime conditions, it |
|
is expected that these data will be useful in developing |
|
projections for overseas medical support requirements in |
|
times of conflict. |
