A Calculated Risk: Systematic Review and Metaanalysis of the Conditional Risk for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the Brazilian General Population - 09/06/15
Résumé |
Introduction |
Conditional risk for PTSD is the probability of developing PTSD after exposure to trauma; and is influenced by gender, socioeconomic status and type of trauma.
Aims |
To summarize data on conditional risk for PTSD in the general population through a systematic review and metaanalysis.
Methods |
Our search included 4 databases, references from selected articles, cited-reference tools, and contact with 30 researchers. We obtained combined measures of conditional risk secondary to any trauma, death of close person and sexual violence.
Results |
Conditional risk secondary to any trauma was 8.72%. (Women: 13.3%, men: 4.3%); secondary to death of close person was 7.7% (women: 16%, men: 3.3%); and secondary to rape was 26.7% (women 32.9%, men: 37.1%).
Discussion |
The present metaanalysis is relevant for determining traumatic events highly associated with PTSD and studying possible risk factors and PTSD physiopathology.
