The current prospective, multi-center, longitudinal cohort study examined how veterans/service members (V/SM) changed in their irritability, anger, and aggression (IAA) scores from admission to discharge post-acute rehabilitation settings. goals were identify trajectory subgroups, explore if there different predictors of the subgroups. V/SM (n = 346) five Veterans Affairs TBI Model Systems Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers participated. sample was mostly men (92%) identified as white (69%),...
Objective: To examine traumatic brain injury (TBI) characteristics and comorbid medical profiles of Special Operations Forces (SOF) Active Duty Service Member/Veterans (ADSM/Vs) contrast them with conventional military personnel. Setting: The 5 Veterans Affairs (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers. Participants: A subset participants in the VA TBI Model Systems multicenter longitudinal study known SOF status. These included 157 who identified as personnel (average age = 41.8 years; 96%...
Objective: Examine rates and predictors of arrests in Veterans Service Members (V/SM) who received inpatient rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Setting: Administration (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers. Participants: A total 948 V/SM drawn from the VA TBI Model Systems cohort with arrest data up to 10 years post-TBI. Design: Longitudinal study; secondary analysis pre-TBI characteristics predicting post-TBI arrests. Main Measures: Disclosure to10 Results: Thirty-six percent...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex health problem in military veterans and service members (V/SM) that often involves comorbid vestibular impairment. Sleep apnea another comorbidity may exacerbate, and/or be exacerbated by, dysfunction.To examine the relationship between sleep symptoms V/SM diagnosed with TBI of any severity.Multicenter cohort study; cross-sectional sample.In-patient rehabilitation units within five Veterans Affairs (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers.V/SM...
Special Operations Forces (SOF) have become the solution to many of United States military challenges due their ability conduct time sensitive, clandestine, and high-risk missions. Historically, SOF were assumed be resilient psychological sequelae war, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, objective burden PTSD in SOF, particularly after traumatic brain injury (TBI), remains unknown. This study compared average symptoms over between Conventional (CF) who had sustained a TBI.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex health problem in military veterans and service members (V/SM) that often co-occurs with psychological medical conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sleep apnea. We aimed to examine if apnea associated the presence severity of PTSD V/SM TBI all severities.The study examined participants at varying times since their (N = 602) enrolled Veterans Affairs Model Systems database. Frequency self-reported diagnosis was calculated...
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) screens veterans who deployed in support of the wars Afghanistan and Iraq for traumatic brain injury (TBI) mental health (MH) disorders. Chronic symptoms after mild TBI overlap with MH symptoms, which there are already established within VHA. It is unclear whether screen facilitates treatment appropriate specialty care over beyond screens. Our primary objective was to determine screening associated different types (MH, Physical Medicine &...
There is a high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among Veterans, including those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sleep disruption from OSA may impede neurologic recovery in TBI and memory processing PTSD (i.e., consolidation emotional memories promotion fear extinction). However, few studies have examined the relationship to Veterans none context moderate-to-severe TBI. In this study, we explored between symptoms at 1-year post-TBI,...
Abstract Introduction Recent work has highlighted prevalent OSA after TBI. Vestibular dysfunction is also common and associated with adverse outcomes particularly in military personnel. been identified patients moderate to severe OSA, yet the relationship remains unexplored those This study examined of vestibular a large cohort Veterans Military Service Members (V/SM) documented Methods Data are secondary analyses from five-center prospective observational V/SM admitted for inpatient...
