- This systematic review looks at recent studies (2021-2022) on biological factors that predict PTSD symptoms, focusing on firsthand research related to molecular measures.
- Out of over 1,000 studies reviewed, only 18 met the criteria, primarily involving military and hospital patients, with most studies showing high quality but lacking diversity in demographics and trauma types, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
