Kozel FA, Didehbani N, DeLaRosa B, Bass C, Schraufnagel CD, Morgan CR, Jones P, Spence JS, Hart J. Factors Impacting Functional Status in Veterans of Recent Conflicts With PTSD. The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. 2015 Dec 16; 28(2):112-7.
Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) underwent a systematic evaluation to determine which factors were associated with the degree of functional status. Demographic information, self-report scales, and symptom ratings performed by trained evaluators were investigated in multiple regression models to determine their contribution to functional status. Ninety-six participants were included in the model assessing degree of functional status. Depressive symptoms, a depressive disorder diagnosis, and to a lesser extent, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale were selected in the final model that best predicted the degree of functional status. Depressive symptoms significantly affect the function of veterans with PTSD.
