Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between heart rate (HR) after trauma and the likelihood of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among burn patients.
- It uses data from burn patients at Johns Hopkins Burn Center, assessing their symptoms of acute stress disorder (ASD) and PTSD over time, alongside their HR measurements taken during treatment.
- The findings indicate that higher HR, especially during ambulance transport, correlates with more severe symptoms of ASD and PTSD, with notable differences observed between genders in PTSD symptom severity over time.
