Comparison of military and civilian methods for determining potentially preventable deaths: a systematic review.
Janak JC, Sosnov JA, Bares JM, et al. Comparison of Military and Civilian Methods for Determining Potentially Preventable Deaths: A Systematic Review. JAMA Surg. 2018;153(4):367-375. doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2017.6105.
This systematic review compared military mortality reviews to nonmilitary studies of pre- or in-hospital mortality reviews. The authors note widely varying review processes, data inclusion, and preventability assessment, and recommend standardization of definitions and processes in order to reduce bias.
