“…All patients were reported to have excellent premorbid functioning prior to ICU admission, with a median Barthel score of 20 (range [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The median APACHE II score was 17 (IQR 13-23, range 4-43) with the median ISS in the trauma patients being 21 (IQR 10-34, range 1-59).…”

These patients were among the most serious cases of recent complex battle injuries in the Afghanistan conflict, including extensive blast injuries and high-level amputa tions (e.g., hip disarticulation) [2][3][4][5][6].
