AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated the effectiveness of the Injured Trauma Survivor Screen (ITSS) in predicting the severity of PTSD symptoms in trauma survivors from a major hospital.
  • A total of 220 participants completed the ITSS while in the hospital, and their PTSD symptoms were assessed one month after being discharged.
  • Key findings indicated that perceived life threat and intentionality of injury were significant predictors for certain PTSD symptoms, while mood and cognitive factors were more relevant for predicting negative mood and cognition changes.

Article Abstract

The current study examined how the injured trauma survivor screen (ITSS), a hospital-administered screener of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, differentially predicted PTSD symptom cluster severity. Participants from a Level 1 trauma center ( = 220) completed the ITSS while inpatient and PTSD symptoms were assessed one-month post discharge. Perceived life threat and intentionality of injury were key predictors of avoidance, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal symptom clusters. However, negative alterations in mood and cognition cluster seemed best predicted by mood and cognitive risk factors. Therefore, the ITSS provides utility in differentially predicting symptom clusters and treatment planning after traumatic injury.

Identification of chromosomal abnormalities is an important issue in animal breeding and veterinary medicine. Routine cytogenetic diagnosis of domestic animals began in the 1960s with the aim of identifying carriers of centric fusion between chromosome 1 and 29 in cattle. In the 1970s, chromosome banding techniques were introduced, and in the 1980s, the first cytogenomic techniques, based on the development of locus- and chromosome-specific probes, were used.
