title: Gulf medical audit--an analysis of medical casualties evacuated to the UK from the Gulf during Operation Granby.
abstract: The 61 personnel, 60 male, evacuated from the Gulf to Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital on medical grounds between late October 1990 and mid March 1991 are reviewed with particular regard to previous medical history, previous medication, and appropriate PULHHEEMS grading. The percentage evacuated was 0.24% of Army personnel involved in "Operation Granby" which is considered acceptably small.
