Relevance – Understanding outcomes and risk factors for adverse outcomes is important in providing support postinjury. – Long-term impairments can continue to affect servicemembers’ function, leading to career performance reduction.

Combat blast injuries: Injury severity and posttraumatic stress disorder interaction on career outcomes in male servicemembers.

Significant interaction between PTSD and injury severity in discharge disability outcome. Dose-response relationship between injury severity and disability discharge in those without PTSD. Injury severity predicted disability discharge in those with PTSD.

Effect of PTSD and injury severity on career performance outcomes after blast injuries should be factored into outcome planning.
