OBJECTIVE To describe and characterize the lifetime history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among active duty soldiers returning from deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq. METHOD Data were extracted from a larger parent study that was conducted at two large United States Army bases between 2009 and 2014 during Post-Deployment Health Assessment. The sample included 1,060 soldiers who sustained at least one TBI during their lifetime. RESULTS The Ohio State University TBI-Identification Method interview was administered to characterize individuals' total lifetime history of TBI. Soldiers reported sustaining a median of 2 lifetime TBIs. Slightly more than half of the sample without a most recent deployment-related TBI still reported a history of a lifetime TBI (some of which occurred during previous deployments). Most lifetime injuries reported were of mild severity; however, 6% of individuals reported a history of moderate/severe TBI. Blast was the most frequent mechanism associated with recent deployment-related mild TBIs. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that soldiers who screened positive, as well as those who screened negative, for a history of TBI during their recent deployment still endorsed a lifetime history of TBI. Future research is needed to explore the functional impact of multiple TBIs over one's lifetime to help inform screening, assessment, and treatment among military personnel.

一组最近部署的士兵中终生 TBI 的特征：战士强有力的研究。

目的 描述和描述从部署到阿富汗或伊拉克的现役士兵中创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 的终生病史。方法 数据来自于 2009 年至 2014 年在部署后健康评估期间在两个大型美国陆军基地进行的大型母公司研究。样本包括 1,060 名在其一生中至少遭受过一次 TBI 的士兵。结果 俄亥俄州立大学 TBI 鉴定方法访谈被用来描述个人 TBI 的整个一生历史。士兵报告维持平均 2 次终生 TBI。在没有最近部署相关 TBI 的样本中，略多于一半的样本仍然报告了终生 TBI 的历史（其中一些发生在之前的部署期间）。报告的大多数终生伤害都是轻微的；然而，6% 的人报告有中度/重度 TBI 病史。Blast 是与最近部署相关的轻度 TBI 相关的最常见机制。结论 调查结果表明，在最近部署期间对 TBI 病史筛查呈阳性的士兵以及那些筛查阴性的士兵仍然支持终生 TBI 病史。未来的研究需要探索多个 TBI 在一生中的功能影响，以帮助为军事人员的筛查、评估和治疗提供信息。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA，保留所有权利）。结论 调查结果表明，在最近部署期间对 TBI 病史筛查呈阳性的士兵以及那些筛查阴性的士兵仍然支持终生 TBI 病史。未来的研究需要探索多个 TBI 在一生中的功能影响，以帮助为军事人员的筛查、评估和治疗提供信息。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA，保留所有权利）。结论 调查结果表明，在最近部署期间对 TBI 病史筛查呈阳性的士兵以及那些筛查阴性的士兵仍然支持终生 TBI 病史。未来的研究需要探索多个 TBI 在一生中的功能影响，以帮助为军事人员的筛查、评估和治疗提供信息。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
