Abstract
A retrospective population-based cohort study using a large military dataset to analyze the epidemiological profile of injuries across critical anatomical regions and in relation to aircraft type, with the rationale of identifying meaningful gaps and differentiate plausible best practices in epidemiology, prevention and rehabilitation of pilots.It is pivotal to tailor strategies forMSK injury to ensure readiness and resilience of all warfighters.
