“…This echoes recent studies that also found no link between injury severity and PTSD diagnosis in victims of other traumas (e.g. Koren et al, 2005;Richter et al, 2006). Repeated falls post-baseline was not associated with PTSD diagnosis, and a previous history of falls, while correlated with acute PTSD, was not associated with chronic PTSD.…”

“…gender, ethnicity, education, income, work status, injury severity score, Glasgow coma scale, social support, resilience, marital status, and ICU length of stay). However, these variables were identified as risk factors in previous reports (Alarcon et al, 2012; Chiu et al, 2011; Clapp & Gayle Beck, 2009; Daniels et al, 2012; Harris, Young, Rae, Jalaludin, & Solomon, 2008; O’Donnell, Creamer, Holmes, et al, 2010; O’Donnell, Creamer, McFarlane, Silove, & Bryant, 2010; Peris et al, 2011; Richter, Waydhas, & Pajonk, 2006). Among the possible explanations for the discrepancy in these findings are differences in patient samples, settings, and control features including the novel analysis strategies (i.e.…”

Trauma centers are an ideal point of intervention in efforts to prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In order to assist in the development of prevention efforts, this study sought to identify early predictors of PTSD symptoms among adults admitted to a Level I trauma center using a novel analytic strategy (Fournier et al., 2009). Upon admission, participants (N=327) were screened for PTSD symptoms and provided information on potential predictor variables. Their PTSD symptoms were assessed again three months later (N=227). Participants were classified as: symptomatic (positive PTSD screen) or asymptomatic (negative PTSD screen) at the follow-up assessment. Multinomial logistic regression showed that, age, depression, number of premorbid psychiatric disorders, gunshot wound, auto vs. pedestrian accident, and alcohol use predicted who had PTSD symptoms at FU with 76.3% accuracy. However, when controlling for PTSD severity at baseline, only age, number of premorbid psychiatric disorders, and gunshot wounds predicted PTSD symptoms at FU but with 78.5% accuracy. These findings suggest that psychological prevention efforts in trauma centers may be best directed toward adults who are young, have premorbid psychiatric disorders, and those admitted with gunshot wounds.

“…While being intubated increased the risk of psychiatric morbidity, the length of ICU stay was not a factor. In a study of patients surviving 30 days or more in a surgical ICU, however, seven of 37 (19%) met the full criteria for PTSD when followed up at about 3 years [30 ]. These were, however, mostly trauma patients who maintained their recall of the physical injury, a feature not seen in many ICU studies.…”

Delirium, cognitive dysfunction and posttraumatic stress disorder

Health professionals working with the critically ill must routinely include the assessment of brain cognitive function. While some of the consequences may be unavoidable, we need to reassess our sedation and care practices to ensure we are not confounding the problem. Practical options to improve outcome are being developed and emphasise that the recovery from critical illness is psychological as well as physical.
