Aeromedical decision making and seizure risk after traumatic brain injury: longitudinal outcome.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in young adults and therefore of significant concern to an aircrew population. This paper reports the occurrences of seizures in U.S.

Panic disorder in military aviators: a retrospective study of prevalence.

Introduction: The occurrence of panic disorder (PD) among military pilots and navigators poses questions with respect to medical care and waiver policy, but the prevalence of such disorders is unclear. We studied the epidemiology of PD in a USAF aircrew population.

Methods: Occurrence of PD during the period 2001-2008 was determined using the USAF Aeromedical Information Management Waiver Tracking System, a database containing medical disqualifications and waivers for the entire population of both qualified and disqualified (grounded) USAF aviators.

Major depressive disorder in military aviators: a retrospective study of prevalence.

Introduction: The occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) among military pilots and navigators poses questions with respect to medical care and waiver policy, but the prevalence of such disorders is unclear. We studied the epidemiology of MDD in a USAF aircrew population.

Methods: The occurrence of MDD was determined for the period 2001-2006 using the USAF Aeromedical Information Management Waiver Tracking System, which records medical disqualifications and waivers for the entire population of both qualified and disqualified (grounded) USAF aviators.
