Gender differences in load carriage injuries of Australian army soldiers

Table 1 OHSCAR Injury data inclusion and exclusion criteria as described by Orr et al. (2014) [2]

Descriptor	Inclusion criteria	Exclusion criteria
Service Type	Australian Regular Army	Cadets Army Reserve Navy Air force Defence civilian
Incident Description	Injury first experienced during a load carriage event, immediately after a load carriage event, or the day following a load carriage event, with no indication of intervening activity	Load carriage identified but injury associated with other mechanisms (e.g., running)
Casualty type	Serious personal injury	Exposure^a
	Incapacity	Dangerous occurrence^b
	Minor injury

^aExposure data were removed as this information is used to describe exposure to workplace hazards (like noise or radiation) that does not immediately or shortly afterward lead to incidents of injury meeting the inclusion criteria for casualty type
^bDangerous occurrence data were removed due to the data’s subjective nature and failure to meet inclusion criteria for casualty type
