背景：武装冲突可对卫生服务产生不利影响，造成伤亡。最近的阿拉伯起义对基础设施造成了相当大的破坏，并造成了人员伤亡。本研究的目的是确定死亡率，受伤和人口流离失所，发生在最近的利比亚武装conflict.Methods：一个系统的横截面实地调查和非结构化搜索进行了14个省份在利比亚6个地区，代表2011年2月和2012年2月之间的武装冲突的主要网站。利比亚总面积的35%和利比亚人口的62.4%参与了这项研究。结果：在冲突期间，共有21,490人（0.5%）死亡，19,700人（0.47%）受伤，435,000人（10.33%）流离失所。总死亡率为每年千分之5.1（95%CI 4.1-7.4），受伤率为每年4.7/1000（95%CI 3.9-7.2），但因地区和时间而异，2011年7月至8月达到峰值。利比亚武装冲突造成了巨大的人员损失和社会破坏，体现在死亡率、受伤率和流离失所率很高。这些参数随着冲突升级而达到高峰，并因利比亚所涉地区和省份而异。国家和国际努力应结合起来，克服这些冲突的后果。
Background: Armed conflicts can negatively affect health services and cause injuries and death. The recent Arab uprising has been associated with considerable damage to infrastructure and loss of human lives. The aim of this study was to determine mortality, injuries and population displacement that occurred during the recent Libyan armed conflict.Methods: A systematic cross-sectional field survey and non-structured search was carried out over fourteen provinces in six Libyan regions, representing the primary sites of the armed conflict between February 2011 and February 2012. Thirty-five percent of the total area of Libya and 62.4% of the Libyan population were involved in the study. The mortality and injury rates were determined and the number of displaced people was calculated during the conflict period.Results: A total of 21,490 (0.5%) persons were killed, 19,700 (0.47%) injured and 435,000 (10.33%) displaced. The overall mortality rate was found to be 5.1 per 1000 per year (95% CI 4.1-7.4) and injury rate was found to be 4.7 per 1000 per year (95% CI 3.9-7.2) but varied by both region and time, reaching peak rates by July-August 2011.Conclusion: The Libyan armed conflict resulted in great human loss and social damage mirrored by high rates of mortality, injury and human displacement. Such parameters peaked as the conflict escalated and differed according to the Libyan regions and provinces involved. National and international efforts should be combined to overcome the consequences of these conflicts.
