Participant Demographics and Injury Details for Post-Traumatic Stress Study

125 adults admitted to a UK major trauma centre with acute musculoskeletal injuries were assessed for post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) at baseline, three, and six months. The dataset, authored by Ferozkhan Jadhakhan and last updated in May 2026, contains socio-demographic, clinical, and trauma-related variables used to identify predictors of PTSS over time.

Use Cases

• Predicting post-traumatic stress symptom risk based on trauma mechanism and psychological factors mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the relationship between injury severity and psychological symptom progression over time.
• Modeling longitudinal health outcomes using baseline, three-month, and six-month assessment data.
• Identifying demographic and clinical predictors for early risk stratification in trauma patients.

Strengths

• Contains longitudinal data with assessments at three distinct time points (baseline, 3 months, 6 months).
• Includes 125 patient records from a defined clinical setting (UK major trauma centre).
• PTSS was assessed using a standardized clinical instrument (Impact of Event Scale–Revised).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (13.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
