A systematic literature review of the quality of evidence for injury and rehabilitation interventions in humanitarian crises
This review assesses the evidence that informs injury and physical rehabilitation interventions in humanitarian crises
Abstract
Humanitarian crises continue to pose a significant threat to health; the United Nations estimates that 144 million people are directly affected by conflict or environmental disasters. During most humanitarian crises, surgical and rehabilitative interventions remain a priority. This review assessed the quality of evidence that informs injury and physical rehabilitation interventions in humanitarian crises.
