Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Purpose of review: Military physicians have amassed tremendous experience treating children with combat-related injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. This review will present several treatment principles adapted from adult trauma care that were applied to children in war and consider their selective application in civilian practice. Recent findings: Many standard practices of adult trauma care were applied to the management of war-injured children. Initial reports of tourniquet use, tranexamic acid administration, and balanced blood transfusion suggest a benefit to the pediatric population. Constraints of providing intensive care in an austere environment required a shift in management toward aggressive limb salvage over amputation, and early palliation for severe brain injury or extensive burns. Summary: Despite the obstacles that may limit the direct translation of trauma care principals to civilian settings, these wartime experiences offer robust and excellent preliminary data that might inform future investigations in the field of pediatric trauma care.
