INTRODUCTION: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not uncommon following major trauma. Despite increasing awareness of the psychological sequelae of trauma, there is often inadequate mental health follow-up for trauma patients. This can lead to significant rates of under-diagnosis and under-treatment.
AIMS: To examine rates of under-diagnosis and under-treatment of probable PTSD amongst major trauma patients admitted to Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand.
METHODS: A prospective questionnaire-based cohort study including patients 16 years and older who presented to Christchurch Hospital with major trauma (Injury Severity Score >/=12) between May 2016 and September 2018. Patients with severe brain injury were excluded. Patients who consented completed the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-V (PCL-5), plus answered questions on any assessment, treatment or diagnosis of PTSD, depression or anxiety before and/or after injury. Demographic, injury-specific and hospital care data were collated from the New Zealand Major Trauma Registry.
RESULTS: There were 836 patients who met the eligibility criteria and were invited to participate in the study, with a 24% response rate (203 patients). Thirty-seven (18%) scored at or above the PTSD threshold, however only 8 (22%) reported having received a formal diagnosis of PTSD. All 8 patients who had received a formal diagnosis of PTSD were receiving some form of mental health treatment (either medication, 'talk therapy' or both). By comparison, within the group of 29 patients who had not received a diagnosis of PTSD but met criteria, only 11 (38%) were receiving any form of mental health treatment.
CONCLUSION: Many people who develop PTSD following trauma fail to receive appropriate assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Further work is needed to ensure adequate systems are in place to allow identification and treatment of patients who develop PTSD following a major trauma.
