• Drug-Gene Interactions Increase Risk of Adverse Outcomes Among Veterans Who Have Vascular Surgery
  This study aimed to determine the association of drug-gene interactions (DGIs) with postsurgical outcomes among VA hospital patients who were enrolled in the Million Veteran Program and received drugs impacted by pharmacogenetic variants 30 days prior to and up to 7 days following vascular surgery. Findings showed that Veterans with DGIs at the time of vascular surgery had a longer length of stay,...

• Prolonged Deployment to Military Bases with Open Burn Pits Increases Risk of Adverse Health Outcomes
  This study sought to determine whether the duration of deployment to military bases with open burn pits was associated with an increased risk of diagnosed respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Findings showed that prolonged deployment to military bases with open burn pits may increase the risk of developing adverse health outcomes. For every 100 days of deployment to bases with burn pits, the ad...

• Individualized Provider Reminders Improve Statin Use and Adherence among Veterans with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
  This multi-site trial compared usual care to personalized reminders to providers in improving the use of high-intensity statins in Veterans with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Findings showed that centrally processed individualized reminders to providers led to a significant increase in high-intensity statin (HIS) use and statin adherence among Veterans with ASCVD. In the interven...

• Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation May Decrease Mortality
  This study evaluated all Veterans referred to home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) at one VA Medical Center and compared outcomes for those who participated in the program and those who did not. Findings showed that Veterans who underwent HBCR had 36% lower risk of mortality after 4 median years of follow-up compared to non-participants, suggesting that participation in HBCR may benefit patien...

• Traumatic Brain Injury May Be a Potentially Novel Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease in Veterans
  This study sought to determine the association between TBI and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in post-9/11 era Veterans. Findings showed that post-9/11 Veterans with mild TBI, moderate to severe TBI, and penetrating TBI were more likely to develop CVD compared to Veterans without TBI. Although the risk was highest shortly after injury, TBI remained significantly associated with CVD for ye...
