摘要

The specific aims of this project were 1) to determine whether objective test measures reveal any progressive diminution in cognitive function among the GW-era veterans who participate in the study in 1995-1998 (Time 1) by comparing test performance observed initially to performance 4-5 years later and 2) to determine whether any identifiable declines in function are related to exposures experienced during deployment to the Gulf, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, or existence of multiple health complaints. Participants were deployed and non-deployed GW-era veterans who were tested at Time 1. The GW-deployed group included patients initially referred for clinical neuropsychological evaluations and a group of individuals seeking treatment or diagnostic evaluation for any purpose. Controls were treatment-seeking non deployed GW-era veterans studied between 1995-1998. The prior finding of differences between the deployed and non-deployed treatment seeking GW-era veterans in neuropsychological outcomes was not supported by the Time 2 data. This may reflect spurious findings at Time 1 or selection bias in the non-deployed group (high rates of major depression). The deployed veteran group did not perform worse at Time 2 than Time 1 suggesting that there was no progressive cognitive decline associated with GW deployment.
