“…Tomlinson et al observed a reduced risk of both acute and over-use musculoskeletal injuries for women compared to men during an 18-month period (60). Enlisted women in the U.S. Navy have been shown to use medical services at higher rates than their male counterparts, and gender differences in hospitalization rates by injury type, job category and pay grade were also reported (29). Basic training classes have offered a convenient setting for studying injuries related to occupational physical activity in groups of young, healthy individuals, and several studies of recruits undergoing basic training have reported gender differences in the risk of musculoskeletal injury (27,29,36,52).…”

Descriptive analyses of U. S. Army data have shown that the rate of hospitalization specifically for knee injury has been increasing among active duty personnel through the mid-1980s and 1990s, and that hospitalization rates for knee injuries differ by gender, race/ethnicity, and job (5,55).…”

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Objectives: This report identifies predictors of occupational knee injury and knee-related disability; demonstrates that a series of case-control comparisons can be used to identify differences in the determinants of these outcomes; and demonstrates that data collected for administrative purposes represent a cost-effective resource for epidemiologic research. Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD), we conducted separate case-control comparisons of occupational knee injury and knee-related disability discharge from active duty service. Results: Among men and women, non-whites were at about 30% lower risk than whites for both outcomes. There was increasing risk of both injury and disability with increasing age for women, and for disability among men. Duration of service (positive) and pay grade (negative) were associated with both outcomes for men and women. Other risk factors differed for men and women by outcome, and the final models included different parameters for each gender. Exploratory analyses suggested interactions between demographic and occupational factors. Conclusions: The differences between the final injury and disability models underscores the utility of separate case-control comparisons to identify risk factors for related outcomes. This study demonstrates the usefulness of large linked databases in epidemiologic research of occupational injury and disability.

“…Still, the apparent convergence of aviation profiles, based partly on elevated frequency of hospitalizations for Digestive diseases, is a noteworthy point. Hoiberg andBlood (1985, 1986) compared divers to matched controls. Sailors were divers if they had made at least 1 dive.…”

PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR FORM TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS. 1. REPORT DATE (DD-MM-YYYY)2. REPORT TYPE This project demonstrates the objective value of medical simulations as training tools for use by military medical personnel in training for tasks that are relevant to the effective and efficient medical care of military pesonnel in combat settings as well as in CONUS hospitals and clinics operated by the military. In addition, the project pursues an integration effort to provide a coherent set of medical simulations and the related medical education/training curricula in which these simulations will be used. Finally, the project provides an architecture and a specific example of a regional model and associated simulations for use in preparing a CONUS region for its medical response to natural or man-made events involving mass destruction. DATES COVERED (From -To ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe appreciate the research support and assistance provided by the researchers and staff of the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) of Old Dominion University led by R. Bowen Loftin, Ph.D. We are grateful to the staff of the National Capital Area Medical Simulation Center of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. In addition, we acknowledge the research assistance of the staff of the Naval Medical Center-Portsmouth. Finally, we thank the medical students and medical residents of the Eastern Virginia Medical School and the Uniforned Services University of the Health Sciences and graduate students of Old Dominion University without whom this research would not have been possible.ii FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PROBLEM/BACKGROUNDThe quality and cost of medical care are among the dominant issues of the twentyfirst century. The availability and preparation of physicians and other medical care providers for support of military operations is threatened by the relative lack of opportunities to practice battlefield medicine, of support for civilian and military response to bio-terrorism and other weapons of mass destruction, and by the need to improve the quality of medical care available to the military services. OBJECTIVEThis project demonstrates the objective value of medical simulations as training tools for use by military medical personnel in training for tasks that are relevant to the effective and efficient medical care...
