PTSS_6_MONTHS: Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms After Musculoskeletal Trauma

A prospective cohort study of 125 adults admitted to a UK major trauma centre with acute musculoskeletal injuries. Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) were assessed using the Impact of Event Scale–Revised at baseline, three, and six months. The dataset was authored by Ferozkhan Jadhakhan and last updated in May 2026.

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
• Training models for early risk stratification of post-traumatic stress following hospitalization
• Examining the longitudinal association between chronic pain-related disability and PTSS outcomes

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with assessments at baseline, three, and six months
• Includes 125 patient records from a UK major trauma centre
• Model for six-month PTSS demonstrated excellent discrimination (AUC=0.91)
• PTSS assessed using a standardized clinical scale (IES-R)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data reflects a single geographic location (UK), which may limit generalizability
