This study found a prevalence of recent mental health disorder diagnosis of 4.2% among those with one or more PreDHA completed in the 90 days prior to deployment and available for analysis in DMSS.
To permit analysis of data from study cohort subjects who might have experienced delays in deployment, all PreDHAs within the 90 days prior to the DTAS deployment date and available in DMSS at the time of analysis were evaluated for pertinent subject and health care provider responses.
This study, as with previous research on deployment-related mental health issues [ 12, 27], relied upon medical surveillance data in the DMSS to identify the presence of pertinent mental health disorder diagnoses.
Once completed, PreDHAs are forwarded to the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) for inclusion in the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS), the DoD's longitudinal medical surveillance database [ 8].
Limitations in data available within the DMSS precluded accurately identifying this cohort; future studies using alternate methodologies might assess the number of service members who may have been identified as "not deployable" and who did not subsequently deploy.
In addition, 414 out of 694 DMSs between MRC-iPS and ES cells (ME-DMSs) and 581 out of 990 DMSs between AM-iPS and ES cells (AE-DMSs) are inherited DMSs (Fig. 1E).
However, one difficulty for the applications is that the Curie temperatures (Tc) of most DMSs materials are below the room temperature.
Many of the results obtained are integrated into the decision support systems DMSS and ExDSS [37], offering useful information for heritage owners and the interested public.
