BACKGROUND: Traumatic @entity1167 (TCA) in @entity1 is associated with a low probability of survival and poor neurological outcome in survivors. Since 2003, over 600 seriously injured local national @entity1 have been treated at deployed UK military medical treatment facilities during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. A number of these were in @entity1167 after sustaining @entity130 . This study defined outcomes from paediatric TCA in this cohort. METHODS: A retrospective database review was undertaken using the UK Joint Theatre @entity130 Registry. This includes UK military, coalition military, civilians and local security forces personnel who prompted @entity130 team activation. All @entity1 in this series were local nationals. @entity1 aged less than 18   years who presented between January 2003 and April 2014, and who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation, were included. RESULTS: 27 @entity1 with TCA were included. Four @entity1 survived to discharge from the medical treatment facility (14.8%), though limited data are available regarding the long-term neurological outcome in these @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the outcomes for paediatric TCA in our military field hospitals were similar to other paediatric civilian and adult military studies, despite @entity1 being injured by severe @entity3614 . Further work is needed to define the optimal management of paediatric TCA.
