The purpose of this research study is to establish a research database and biorepository for patients at National Jewish Health (NJH) who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). This study will also include civilian contractors who worked as part of these military operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. The biorepository would store blood samples obtained from these patients during a clinic visit. The research database would store prospectively and retrospectively collected clinical and exposure data that would enable us to comprehensively characterize each case.
If informed consent is obtained, test results and other information collected for clinical reasons will be entered in a research database designed and maintained by DEOHS staff. The clinical data collected are part of the routine diagnosis and care of these patients. No additional procedures are required for the purpose of this research database. Collection of symptom and exposure data using a questionnaire designed for this study.
All NJH patients who served in southwest Asia will be approached for inclusion in the study. This will also attempt to contact patients evaluated previously at NJH for deployment-related lung disease to obtain informed consent to include data from their medical record and the research questionnaire in the database.
