Summary

This study developed a predictive model to identify military service members at high risk for re-injury after returning to full duty. The model accurately identified 25 more individuals per 100 at risk, improving return-to-duty decisions.

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Musculoskeletal Injury Research
Predictive Modeling in Healthcare

Background:

Musculoskeletal injuries are common in military service members.
Returning to full duty prematurely increases re-injury risk.
Accurate risk assessment is crucial for optimal return-to-duty decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a multivariable model for predicting re-injury risk in military personnel after initial injury clearance.
To improve decision-making processes for return-to-full-duty protocols.

Main Methods:

A prospective cohort study involving 450 military service members cleared for full duty after a musculoskeletal injury.
Data collected included medical history, demographics, psychological profile, and extensive physical performance metrics.
Injury occurrence within one year was tracked via text messages, medical records, and limited duty databases.

Main Results:

The final model included 15 variables and demonstrated good predictive performance with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.74.
The model showed very good calibration (score 1.05).
The predictive model identified an additional 25 soldiers per 100 at high risk for re-injury compared to no prediction model, with a net benefit of 0.251.

Conclusions:

A multivariable model accurately predicts re-injury risk in tactical athletes returning to full duty.
The developed model offers superior performance compared to not using any predictive tool.
This tool can guide clinical decisions to prevent subsequent injuries in service members.
