@entity1902 as a Risk Factor for XXXX and Malabsorption: A Case-Control Study.

@entity1 @entity1944 @entity11581 @entity344 @entity1902
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have linked an increase in functional and pathological @entity344 following antecedent @entity1902 ( @entity1902 ), yet studies of other chronic @entity344 such as @entity11581 ( @entity11581 ) and @entity1944 ( @entity1944 ) are lacking. This study was performed to evaluate the association between documented @entity1902 and the risk of @entity11581 and @entity1944 using a matched case-control study. METHODS: The odds of @entity1902 (exposure) among subjects with @entity11581 and @entity1944 were compared to the odds of exposure in matched controls. Data were obtained from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Incidence was estimated based on the number of active duty military personnel, and conditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between @entity1902 and @entity11581 / @entity1944 while adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS: The overall incidence of @entity11581 and @entity1944 was 0.24 and 1.98 per 100,000 @entity1 -years, respectively. After adjusting for important covariates, prior @entity1902 was associated with an increase in the odds of @entity11581 (odds ratio (OR) 36.64) and @entity1944 (OR 3.93) (p  <  0.001). Other covariates demonstrating an increased risk were being of Caucasian race, having greater than high school education, and service in military branches other than the Army. CONCLUSION: Overall, this study demonstrates the first significant estimates that a case of antecedent @entity1902 is associated with an increased risk of @entity11581 and @entity1944 in an active duty military population. Ultimately, acquisition of @entity11581 or @entity1944 has the potential to decrease operational efficiency, which may have a significant impact on deployed military missions.
