Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR). Volume 3, Number 4, June 1997

Abstract

In December 1995, the United States deployed a joint task force to Bosnia as part of a multinational peacekeeping mission called Operation Joint Endeavor (OJE). Daily, during the operation, data regarding hospitalizations of US soldiers were transmitted electronically to the Patient Administration Systems and Biostatistics Activity (PASBA) in San Antonio, Texas. In turn, PASBA periodically transmitted deployment hospitalization data to the Army Medical Surveillance Activity (AMSA) for integration with data from other sources (e.g., deployment rosters, reportable diseases, stored serum specimens, personnel information). This report summarizes the OJE hospitalization experience of soldiers in relation to time in theater, demographic factors, prior hospitalization and major deployment histories.
