Note. Reference group is males. OR = Odds ratio, CI = Confidence interval. All of the analyses which adjust for blast have also been adjusted for: etiology (blast, bullet, fall, vehicle, other blunt trauma), marital status, education, employment, rank, service, age, and years of service. The four neurobehavioral symptom domains were obtained from a factor analysis of the NSI-22 (described under Methods). Neurobehavioral symptom severity scores were dichotomized into ‘none/mild/moderate’ (mean scale score < 3) or ‘severe/very severe’ (mean scale score ≥ 3) groups.

a

Any isolated diagnosis from the above categories.

b

Two or more diagnoses included any two of the above categories.
