Abstract

In this article the authors discuss the underreporting of land mines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW) injuries in Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Viet Nam. They are critical of the underreporting and are supportive of having revisions of the International Classification of Diseases provide opportunities to generate more accurate estimates of the current burden of injury from land mines and ERW.
