| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xpjzTD. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective-To examine the impact of non-fatal war related injuries on physical disability in a group of war wounded civilians and to assess their needs. Design-Cross sectional study. Home interviews were conducted using a structured interview schedule around one month after the injury, to assess impairments, disabilities, and needs. Study population and setting-War wounded persons in towns and villages in South Lebanon during the attack "Grapes of Wrath" in 1996. Results-The majority of the study population were young and in their productive age, mostly injured in the street or while hiding in open shelters. Around half of the injuries resulted in impairments, but, there were no age, gender or geographical differentials by severity of impairment. Almost one third (29%) of the students enrolled in schools at the time of the injury reported failure to continue their education and 42% of the working members lost their jobs with no potential for 34% of them to resume their former jobs. The impact of the injury on impairments, motor disabilities and physical independence was highest for injuries to the lower limbs (age and sex adjusted risk ratio (RR) 1.62,95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.25,2.10 ; 2.98,95% CI 2.09,4.23 ; and 2.13,95% CI 1.39,3.27, respectively).
