Additional MEB data were available from a project conducted on an Army Infantry Division. The project was undertaken to examine the usefulness of MEB and Line-of-Duty reports as data sources for injury surveillance. Data from 177 reviews in the division in 1994 were examined. There were 83 MEB reviews due to injuries (47%), 88 MEB reviews due to illness (50%), and 5 MEB reviews due to unknown causes (3%). The top 10 reasons for review are shown here. Low back pain and knee problems were once again the leading reasons for review.
