PURPOSE: 5.12 @entity71530 are of the similar magnitude, but the climate and geographic environment are totally different. Our team carried out medical rescue in both disasters, so we would like to compare the different traumatic conditions of the wounded in two earthquakes. METHODS: The clinical data of the wounded respectively in 5.12 @entity71530 rescued by Chengdu Military General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Then a contrast study between the wounded was conducted in terms of age, sex, @entity130 , traumatic condi- tions, complications and prognosis. RESULTS: Three days after 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, 465 cases of the wounded were hospitalized in Chengdu Military General Hospital, including 245 males (52.7%) and 220 females (47.3%) with the average age of (47.6  22.7) years. Our team carried out humanitarian relief in Katmandu after 4.25 Nepal earthquake. Three days after this disaster, 71 cases were treated in our field hospital, including 37 males (52.1%) and 34 females (47.9%) with the mean age of (44.8  22.9) years. There was no obvious difference in sex and mean age between two groups, but the age distribution was a little different: there were more wounded @entity1 at the age over 60 years in 4.25 Nepal earthquake (p<0.01) while more wounded @entity1 at the age between 21 and 60 years in 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake (p<0.05). The main cause of @entity130 was bruise by heavy drops but 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake had a higher rate of @entity130 and @entity130 (p<0.05) while 4.25 Nepal earthquake had a higher rate of @entity130 (p<0.01). @entity174 was the most common @entity130 . However, compared with 5.12 @entity71530 has a much higher incidence of limb @entity174 (p<0.01), @entity358 (p<0.01) and @entity3147 (p<0.05), but a lower incidence of @entity764 (p<0.05) and @entity1230 (p<0.05). The other complications and @entity204 rate showed no significant differences. CONCLUSION: Major earthquakes of the similar magnitude can cause different @entity130 , trau- matic conditions and complications in the wounded under different climate and geographic environ- ment.When an earthquake occurs in a poor traffic area of high altitude and large temperature difference, early medical rescue, injury control and wounded evacuation as well as sufficient warmth retention and food supply are of vital significance.
