Risk factors for the development versus maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder

Schnurr, Paula P., Lunney, Carole A., Sengupta, Anjana·2004·Journal of Traumatic Stress

Abstract

This study examined risk factors for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Vietnam veterans: 68 women and 414 men of whom 88 were White, 63 Black, 80 Hispanic, 90 Native Hawaiian, and 93 Japanese American. Continuation ratio logistic regression was used to compare the predictive power of risk factors for the development versus maintenance of full or partial PTSD. The development of PTSD was related to premilitary, military, and postmilitary factors. The maintenance of PTSD was related primarily to military and postmilitary factors. Multivariate analyses identified different models for development and maintenance. We conclude that development of PTSD is related to factors that occur before, during, and after a traumatic event, whereas failure to recover is related primarily to factors that occur during and after the event.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Social support has been identified as an important predictor in the onset and maintenance of anxiety and PTSD in Vietnam Veterans.

    “Social support has been identified as an important predictor in the onset and maintenance of anxiety and PTSD in Vietnam Veterans (Boscarino, 1995; Schnurr, Lunney, & Sengupta, 2004) and may, therefore, be important to address directly in treatment.”

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.
