Abstract

The prevalence and nature of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is controversial because of the apparent paradox of suffering PTSD with impaired memory for the traumatic event. In this study, 1167 survivors of traumatic injury (MTBI: 459, No TBI: 708) were assessed for PTSD symptoms and post-traumatic amnesia during hospitalization, and were subsequently assessed for PTSD 3 months later (N = 920). At the follow-up assessment, 90 (9.4%) patients met criteria for PTSD (MTBI: 50, 11.8%; No-TBI: 40, 7.5%); MTBI patients were more likely to develop PTSD than no-TBI patients, after controlling for injury severity (adjusted odds ratio: 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.78–2.94). Longer post-traumatic amnesia was associated with less severe intrusive memories at the acute assessment. These findings indicate that PTSD may be more likely following MTBI, however, longer post-traumatic amnesia appears to be protective against selected re-experiencing symptoms. (JINS, 2009, 15, 862–867.)

  • Subsequent TBI studies concurred that trauma memory impairment does not prevent PTSD but is associated with fewer re-experiencing symptoms.

    “Subsequent TBI studies specifically assessing trauma memory impairment concurred that it does not prevent PTSD but is associated with fewer re-experiencing symptoms of PTSD (Bryant et al., 2009; Cnossen et al., 2017; Gil, Caspi, Ben-Ari, Koren, & Klein, 2005).”

  • The present findings differ from TBI research findings of fewer re-experiencing symptoms for those absent trauma memory.

    “Although the direction of effects is similar, our findings differ from TBI research findings of fewer re-experiencing symptoms for those absent trauma memory (Bryant et al., 2009; Cnossen et al., 2017)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
