For these results, the committee prioritized reporting those in which the adjusted ORs between strata were different, at least one stratum's OR was above 1.0 and the lower bound of the 95% CI was also above 1.0, and the 95% CIs did not overlap between strata. Furthermore, the chapter presents results of cumulative exposure analyses based on additive counts of individual binary exposures, given evidence of a trend of increased risk with increasing exposure.

A study of veterans who met the Kansas criteria found that those who were so excluded scored higher on the VA Frailty Index (measured in a patient's electronic health record (EHR) by VHA and used as a proxy for current health status)

Additionally, due to concerns that long COVID symptoms overlap with many diagnoses comprising CMI, the committee conducted sensitivity analyses that only considered CMI cases before 2020; these produced similar OR estimates to those of the primary analysis (that did not restrict to pre-2020 cases)

CI = confidence interval; CMI = chronic multisymptom illness; ILER = Individual Longitudinal Exposure Record; OR = odds ratio.

This nested casecontrol study of Gulf War veterans found no difference in the likelihood of developing GWI across different urinary uranium levels. This suggests that depleted uranium exposure is not significantly associated with developing GWI (Parrish and Haley, 2021)

The committee further concludes there is inadequate or insufficient evidence of a possible risk-conferring relationship between exposure to burn pits, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, or solvents and CMI. SUMMARY Through its data analysis and literature review, the committee examined possible relationships between CMI and its exposures of interest: burn pits, dust and PM, exhaust, fuels, incinerator emissions, metals, mold, radiation, and solvents.
