BackgroundThe Syrian Civil War has caused over 400 000 traumatic deaths. Understanding the nature of war casualties is crucial to deliver healthcare improvement. Historic regional conflicts and Syrian mortality data have been characterised by blast injuries. The aim of this novel review is to assess the trauma epidemiology of Syrian Civil War casualties from the perspective of healthcare facilities.MethodsThis review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses method. Studies addressing Syria, trauma and war were investigated. Eligibility criteria included being conducted from a healthcare facility, published in English and peer reviewed. The outcomes were demography, mechanism of injury and anatomical injury site.Results38 papers satisfied the eligibility criteria. 13 842 casualties were reported across the entire data set. Casualties were 88.8% male (n=4035 of 4544). Children contributed to 16.1% of cases (n=398 of 2469). Mortality rate was 8.6% (n=412 of 4774). Gunshot wound was the most common mechanism of injury representing 66.3% (n=7825 of 11799). Head injury was the most common injured site at 26.6% (n=719 of 2701).ConclusionsThis conflict has a distinct trauma profile compared with regional modern wars. The prevalence of gunshot wounds represents a marked change in mechanism of injury. This may be related to higher mortality rate and proportion of head injuries identified. This review cannot correlate mechanism of injury, demographics or injuries sustained to outcomes. The quality of data from the included studies lacked standardisation; future research and consistent reporting tools are required to enable further analysis.

“…This technique has been proven to be reliable and was used in several patients during recent military conflicts. 4,5 Published studies have shown that shunts can be used to control hemorrhage from vascular injuries and to reperfuse distal tissue. They can also be placed as a temporizing measure until surgeons with expertise in the area of vascular repair are available, or even left in place to allow perfusion of the limb while the patient is transferred.…”

“…[14] Only a limited number of DCS cases carried out on individuals injured during the Syrian Civil War have been reported. [15] In our study, 204 patients meeting the criteria were subjected to DCS in our hospital. Among these patients, those with the lowest survival rates were neurosurgical, thoracic surgical, and general surgical patients; this fact is consistent with the distribution of injuries from gunshots, explosives, and shrapnel throughout the body and indicates that these types of injuries present vital consequences to patients.…”

The results of this study indicated that head-neck, chest-abdomen, and multiple body injuries are the most widely seen among civilians brought to Turkey because of gunshot injuries sustained during the Civil War in Syria. The number of emergency operations performed in the study sample was high, and critical care follow-up durations were long. In addition, the NISS and ASA scores of mortal cases were fairly high.
