High-risk patients are traditionally those with prolonged immobility and hypercoagulability. Recent findings of pulmonary thrombosis (PT) in healthy combat soldiers, found on CT performed for initial trauma assessment, challenge this assumption. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of PT detected in acute traumatic war injuries, and evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm in these settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study analyzed immediate post-trauma CT scans of war-injured patients aged 18\u201345, from two tertiary hospitals between October 7, 2023, and January 7, 2024. Thrombi were retrospectively detected using AI software and confirmed by two senior radiologists. Findings were compared to the original reports.

The only statistically significant difference between PT and non-PT patients was increased complexity and severity of injuries (higher Injury Severity Score, median (IQR) 21.0 (20.0\u201321.0) vs 9.0 (4.0\u201314.5),\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.01, accordingly).
