Burn Pit Smoke Exposure and Sleep Apnea in US Veterans
INTRODUCTION: Burn pit smoke exposure (BPSE) during military deployment has been linked to long-term cardiorespiratory conditions, but its relationship with sleep apnea (SA) remains unclear. This study examines the association between BPSE and SA using Veterans Health Administration (VHA) electronic medical records (EMR) and the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry (AHOBPR). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of veterans fr…
Concordance Between Self-Report and Electronic Medical Record Diagnoses of Insomnia and Sleep Apnea
BACKGROUND: Veteran participants in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry (AHOBPR) report respiratory and sleep-related symptoms, including sleep-disordered breathing and difficulty sleeping. The AHOBPR Questionnaire elicits sleep-related disturbances and other health outcomes potentially associated with burn pit exposures. Responses to this questionnaire may influence resource allocation and future longitudinal studies of toxic sequela…
Associations between obstructive sleep apnea and cardiac troponin T levels
Inflammatory Biomarkers Differ among Hospitalized Veterans Infected with Alpha, Delta, and Omicron Sars-CoV-2 Variants
Mortality due to COVID-19 has been correlated with laboratory markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP). The lower mortality during Omicron variant infections could be explained by variant-specific immune responses or host factors, such as vaccination status. We hypothesized that infections due to Omicron variant cause less inflammation compared to Alpha and Delta, correlating with lower mortality. This was a retrospective cohort …
