DoD-VA Trauma Infection Research Collaboration
Abstract
In the aftermath of wars, there is a surge in the number of wounded service members who leave active duty and become eligible for healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Collaborations between the Department of Defense (DoD) and VA are crucial to capture comprehensive data and further understand the long-term impact of battlefield trauma. We provide a summary of the development, methodology, and status of an effective collaboration between the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program and the St. Louis VA Health Care System with the multicenter, observational Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study (TIDOS), which examines the short- and long-term outcomes of deployment-related trauma.
