Adjusted incidence rate ratios of both tick-borne diseases increased with increasing age group. Annual Lyme disease incidence rates peaked concurrently with annual mean temperatures. Incidence rate ratios for Lyme disease were highest in the Southeast compared to the Northeast, while Rocky Mountain spotted fever incidence rate ratios were highest in the South compared to the Southeast.

An association is identified between non-medical risk factors and suicide ideation or attempt within 1 year following diagnosis of the risk factor. This study reports the prevalence of non-medical risk factors, also known as social determinants of health, among active component service members and assesses the relationship between these factors and suicide ideation or attempts between 2018 and 2022. This analysis was performed to determine if there is opportunity to prevent suicide ideation or attempt among service members indicated for these non-medical risk factors. The findings reveal differences between demographic variables, emphasizing the disproportionate impacts of non-medical risk factors within the military population. For example, non-Hispanic Black service members had higher frequencies of diagnoses for all factors. After controlling for age, sex, service branch, race, and year of entry into military service, odds of suicidal ideation or attempt were elevated for service members with a recent diagnosis for factors related to abuse (odds ratio [OR] 13.7), family upbringing (OR 10.9), other psychosocial issues (OR 7.5), social environment (OR 7.4), lifestyle (OR 5.4), and life management (OR 5.3). This finding persisted even after excluding individuals with any prior mental health diagnosis. The results of this study suggest a need for a more comprehensive understanding of non-medical risk factors in shaping health outcomes and informing interventions to mitigate their effects.","PeriodicalId":38856,"journal":{"name":"MSMR","volume":"32 3","pages":"2-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate cause coding in service members' electronic medical records, injury encounters from 2016 to 2019 containing at least 1 external cause code were analyzed. Approximately 10% of incident injury encounters contained at least 1 cause code describing the mechanism, activity, or place of occurrence. Less than 2% of overuse injury encounters had a cause code each year, compared to 36.4-44.0% of acute injuries occurring from 2016 to 2019. Cause coding occurred more frequently in records from military facilities compared to outsourced care (p<0.001). Inpatient records were more likely to be cause-coded than outpatient records (p<0.001). More injury encounters in emergency clinics were cause coded (>50%), compared to approximately 7% of primary care and 2% of specialist encounters. In 2019, the leading mechanism was overexertion (19.9%), followed by falls, slips, or trips (18.7%). The primary activity associated with injuries was running (21.1%). Military training ground was the leading place of occurrence (13.0%). Improvements to the quality and quantity of external cause coding in the medical records would provide critical details to inform military injury prevention. From 2016 through 2019, approximately 10% of 1.5 million annual U.S. service member incident injury medical encounters contained external cause codes.

Established surveillance approaches for fixed military hospitals and clinics were not designed to be applied to the highly mobile populations aboard ships. This paper describes the development of a new surveillance capability through utilization of the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE). The pilot program successfully instituted a near real-time D&I surveillance system defined for shipboard operations. Following initial data and system assessment, an operational surveillance strategy was developed and implemented at the Navy's 4 regional Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Units responsible for global fleet assets. Despite early implementation challenges, preventive medicine users reported that the fleet ESSENCE system was effective in identifying potential outbreaks, with sufficient efficiency for daily surveillance. This new capability using in-theater data in ESSENCE enables unprecedented, near real-time D&I surveillance for the U.S. Navy fleet. While currently targeting gastrointestinal and respiratory illness trends, the infrastructure has flexibility to add new modules in response to fleet and preventive medicine requirements.","PeriodicalId":38856,"journal":{"name":"MSMR","volume":"32 2","pages":"10-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933240/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ovarian dysfunction diagnosis incidence gradually increased during this period, driven almost entirely by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), of which the incidence increased from 32.0 cases per 10,000 person-years in 2014 to 60.3 cases per 10,000 person-years in 2023. Increases occurred among all demographic subcategories. This study also assessed independent association between ovarian dysfunction and socio-demographic and medical covariates, including COVID-19 infection and vaccination status. History of obesity had the strongest association with PCOS incidence, with an adjusted incident rate ratio (aIRR) of 2.5 and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 2.3-2.6. COVID-19 infection was modestly associated with PCOS incidence (aIRR 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.3). COVID-19 vaccination status was not independently associated with increased PCOS incidence. A potential contributing factor of increased PCOS diagnosis incidence is that recent updates to the diagnostic criteria enabled more clinical and telehealth diagnoses. The increased incidence may also reflect the increasing rate of obesity and other related health burdens in the U.S. military. Incidence of diagnosis of ovarian dysfunction, driven almost entirely by PCOS, increased steadily among female active component service members from 2014 to 2023. This increase in incidence was observed in all demographic subgroups and had the strongest independent association with pre-existing obesity.","PeriodicalId":38856,"journal":{"name":"MSMR","volume":"32 1","pages":"11-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11844305/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study population included 41,442 service members from the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps who completed a Post-Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA) and a Periodic Health Assessment (PHA). Presence of TBI was ascertained from a screening instrument on the PDHA, and provider determination of medical readiness was abstracted from the PHA. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the association between probable TBI and 'not medically ready' (NMR) service member disposition while adjusting for covariates. Overall, 1.8% of the study population screened positive for TBI, and individuals with TBI had a significantly higher prevalence of NMR disposition (7.8%) than those without (3.7%). After adjusting for all covariates, TBI was associated with higher odds of post-deployment NMR disposition (odds ratio 1.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.0). Deployment-related TBI is associated with medical readiness. Future studies are needed to elucidate the TBI sequelae that may lead to NMR disposition as well as the impact of repeated TBIs. This study identified 54% increased odds of NMR disposition for military personnel with probable TBI following deployment, after adjusting for post-traumatic stress disorder and other covariates.","PeriodicalId":38856,"journal":{"name":"MSMR","volume":"32 1","pages":"2-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11842126/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
