      abstract = {Combat Veterans face elevated risk of motor vehicle crash  (MVC)-related injuries. This historical cohort study  examined whether posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)  predicts MVC-related hospitalization among 119,343 Iraq and  Afghanistan Veterans enrolled in Veterans Health  Administration care within one year of deployment. PTSD was  defined by inpatient or multiple outpatient diagnoses  within the first year. Over five years, 373 Veterans were  hospitalized for MVC injuries. Unadjusted models showed  PTSD increased risk by 40% (RR=1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.7), but  adjusted models found no significant association (RR=1.0;  95% CI: 0.8–1.2). PTSD may indicate, rather than cause, MVC  risk; further research is needed.},
