Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Scalable PTSD screening strategies must be brief, accurate and capable of administration by a non-specialized workforce.
UNASSIGNED: We used PTSD as determined by the structured clinical interview as our gold standard and considered predictors sets of (a) Posttraumatic Stress Checklist-5 (PCL-5), (b) Primary Care PTSD Screen for the DSM-5 (PC-PTSD) and, (c) PCL-5 and PC-PTSD questions to identify the optimal items for PTSD screening for public sector settings in Kenya. A logistic regression model using LASSO was fit by minimizing the average squared error in the validation data. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) measured discrimination performance.
UNASSIGNED: Penalized regression analysis suggested a screening tool that sums the Likert scale values of two PCL-5 questions-intrusive thoughts of the stressful experience (#1) and insomnia (#21). This had an AUROC of 0.85 (using hold-out test data) for predicting PTSD as evaluated by the MINI, which outperformed the PC-PTSD. The AUROC was similar in subgroups defined by age, sex, and number of categories of trauma experienced (all AUROCs>0.83) except those with no trauma history- AUROC was 0.78.
UNASSIGNED: In some East African settings, a 2-item PTSD screening tool may outperform longer screeners and is easily scaled by a non-specialist workforce.
摘要:
可扩展的PTSD筛查策略必须简短,准确,能够由非专业劳动力管理。
我们使用由结构化临床访谈确定的PTSD作为我们的黄金标准,并考虑了(a)创伤后应激清单5(PCL-5)的预测因素集,(b)DSM-5(PC-PTSD)的初级保健PTSD屏幕,(c)PCL-5和PC-PTSD问题,以确定肯尼亚公共部门环境中PTSD筛查的最佳项目。通过最小化验证数据中的平均平方误差来拟合使用LASSO的逻辑回归模型。接收器工作特性曲线下面积(AUROC)测量辨别性能。
惩罚回归分析提出了一种筛选工具,该工具将两个PCL-5问题的李克特量表值求和-对压力经历(#1)和失眠(#21)的侵入性想法。根据MINI的评估,预测PTSD的AUROC为0.85(使用固定测试数据),优于PC-PTSD。AUROC在按年龄定义的亚组中相似,性别,除了没有创伤史的患者,经历的创伤类别数量(所有AUROC>0.83)-AUROC为0.78。
在某些东非环境中,2个项目的PTSD筛查工具可能优于更长的筛查人员,并且很容易由非专业人员进行缩放。
