Statistical analyses were used to derive and validate a statistical prediction instrument to determine combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) status. Participants were 1081 Vietnam veterans with and without combat-related PTSD. The statistical prediction instrument, which consisted of 12 well-known risk and resilience variables associated with PTSD, proved to be an accurate and efficient means of detecting PTSD among participants and compared well against other existing self-report measures of PTSD. The instrument's practical applications and its use in clinical appraisals of PTSD are discussed.
采用统计分析方法来推导和验证一种统计预测工具，以确定与战斗相关的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）状态。研究对象为1081名患有或未患有与战斗相关PTSD的越南退伍军人。该统计预测工具由12个与PTSD相关的知名风险和恢复力变量组成，被证明是在研究对象中检测PTSD的一种准确且有效的方法，与其他现有的PTSD自我报告测量方法相比表现良好。文中还讨论了该工具的实际应用及其在PTSD临床评估中的用途。
