Deaths Among U.S. Air Force Basic Military Trainees, 2008-2020

CONCLUSION: A modest downward trend of average death rate has continued since 2007, and no deaths from 2016 through 2020 represents the longest time frame without any deaths at USAF BMT over all times reported (dating back to 1956) which suggest that emergency best practice policies are/have improved. However, cardiac death rate and suicide rate have not changed since the last report. Policies and practices should be continuously reviewed and refined to reduce the risk of death at USAF BMT.PMID:35043203 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab493
