Abstract
The views expressed by Hoge and colleagues in their Perspective article (April 16 issue)1 on the role of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in postdeployment dysfunction are not upheld by the clinical experience of most experts who provide care. The authors' concern that the postdeployment system of care implemented by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has unintended adverse health consequences is based on inaccurate information.Keywords
