The antiterrorist operation, which has been lasting in eastern Ukraine for 5 years, is stealing thousands of human lives, and those, who are lucky to survive, in many cases, have become disabled. The assessment of disability group (disability severity) corresponds to the clause 19 of the Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine “On the status of war veterans and guarantees of their social protection”. The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of the primary disability among participants of anti-terrorist operation. Analysis of the primary disability prevalence in the Poltava region for 2015-2018 was based on the data provided by the Centre of Medical and Social Expert Commission of Poltava region and registered in the form 14 “Report on the causes of disability, indications for medical, occupational and social rehabilitation for 20__ year” approved by the Order of the Ministry of Public Health of Ukraine No. 378, 10.07.2007. We applied the analysis of the dynamic series and the odds ratio. The study revealed a significant increase in the number of anti-terrorist operation participants examined at the medical and social expert commission. The number of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who got a disability group increased by 198.5%. The number of servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine assigned a disability group increased by 600%. Inspected by the medical-social expert commission of military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Poltava region, no significant changes in these indicators were found. Thus, an increase in the number of disabilities among participants in the antiterrorist operation requires the development of a rehabilitation system provided through all the levels of medical care.
