Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 7/8, pg. 1454-1461Summary: Eight reviewed studies revealed a pooled prevalence estimate of PTSD among ADSMs with mTBI at 36% (95% CI, 30%-41%, P < . 01, I2 = 96%). Traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly mild TBI (mTBI), is a significant health concern for U.S. active duty service members (ADSMs), with potential implications for psychiatric outcomes including PTSD. Despite recognizing this association, the prevalence of PTSD among ADSMs with mTBI remains unclear. Methodological differences, including diagnostic criteria variability, contribute to the observed variability in prevalence estimates. Despite methodological challenges, this study provides crucial insights into the pooled prevalence of comorbid PTSD and mTBI within the military, emphasizing the need for standardized methodologies and further research to refine understanding and support strategies for affected individuals.
