Getting on the Same Page: Consolidating Terminology to Facilitate Cross-Disciplinary Health-Related Blast Research

Abstract: The consequences of blast exposure (including both high-level and low-level blast) have been a focal point of military interest and research for years. Recent mandates from Congress (e.g., National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, section 734) have further accelerated these efforts, facilitating collaborations between research teams from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Based on findings from a recent scoping review, we argue that the scientific field of blast research is plagued by incons… Show more

“…Findings regarding fatigue and migraines, two other conditions that have been reported to be associated with LLB [ 5 , 12 , 14 ], were also interesting. They suggest that cumulative exposure to repetitive LLB may be associated with fatigue, although those working in high-risk occupations were less likely to be diagnosed with these conditions overall; these findings parallel the effects demonstrated for sleep disorders and symptoms.…”

“…Because changes in an individual's branch of service (e.g., Marine Corps to Navy), pay grade (e.g., enlisted to officer), or military occupational specialty risk category (e.g., high to low) could also alter how each participant was categorized during analysis, medical and career data for service members was followed until the earliest of the following events occurred: (1) they changed from one branch of service to another; (2) they converted from an enlisted pay grade to a warrant officer or officer pay grade; (3) their occupation changed, resulting in a risk categorization shift (as subsequently described); (4) they were discharged from military service for at least 30 days; or (5) the study end date of 31 December 2015. Data for participants after any of these events occurred were censored and thus not included in subsequent analysis.…”
