PTSS_3_MONTHS: Post-Traumatic Stress Predictors After Musculoskeletal Trauma

A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of 125 adults admitted to a UK major trauma centre with acute musculoskeletal injuries. The dataset, created by Ferozkhan Jadhakhan and last updated in May 2026, contains longitudinal assessments of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) at baseline, three, and six months, along with candidate predictors including socio-demographic, clinical, and trauma-related variables.

Use Cases

• Predicting PTSS risk at three and six months based on trauma mechanism and psychological factors mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the relationship between injury severity and PTSS progression over time.
• Building risk stratification models using variables like baseline anxiety and kinesiophobia.
• Examining the longitudinal prevalence of PTSS following hospitalisation for musculoskeletal trauma.

Strengths

• Includes longitudinal data with assessments at three time points (baseline, 3 months, 6 months).
• Model performance for the six-month prediction is reported with excellent discrimination (AUC=0.91).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

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 at 33.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
