The Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS) is the central repository of medical surveillance data for the US armed forces. The DMSS integrates data from sources worldwide in a continuously expanding relational database that documents the military and medical experiences of service members throughout their careers. The Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR) is a central archive of sera drawn from service members for medical surveillance purposes. Currently, the DMSS contains data relevant to more than 7 million individuals who have served in the armed forces since 1990, and the DoDSR contains more than 27 million specimens that are linkable to data in the DMSS. Recent applications of the DMSS and DoDSR provide glimpses of the capabilities and uses of comprehensive public health surveillance systems.
国防医疗监测系统(DMSS)是美国武装部队医疗监测数据的中央存储库。DMSS将来自全球各地的数据整合到一个不断扩展的关系数据库中,该数据库记录了军人在其整个职业生涯中的军事和医疗经历。国防部血清库(DoDSR)是为医疗监测目的从军人身上采集的血清的中央存档库。目前,DMSS包含自1990年以来在武装部队服役的700多万人的相关数据,而DoDSR包含超过2700万个可与DMSS中的数据相链接的样本。DMSS和DoDSR的最新应用让我们得以一窥综合公共卫生监测系统的能力和用途。
