This study examined post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 13 049 survivors of suspected or confirmed COVID-19, from the UK general population, as a function of severity and hospital admission status. Compared with mild COVID-19, significantly elevated rates of PTSD symptoms were identified in those requiring medical support at home (effect size 0.178 s.d., P = 0.0316), those requiring hospital admission without ventilation (effect size 0.234 s.d., P = 0.0064) and those requiring hospital admission with ventilator support (effect size 0.454 s.d., P < 0.001). Intrusive images were the most prominent elevated symptom. Adequate psychiatric provision for such individuals will be of paramount importance.
本研究调查了来自英国普通人群的13049名疑似或确诊感染新冠病毒的幸存者的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状，这些症状是严重程度和住院状况的函数。与轻症新冠患者相比，在家中需要医疗支持的患者（效应量0.178标准差，P = 0.0316）、需要住院但无需通气的患者（效应量0.234标准差，P = 0.0064）以及需要呼吸机支持的住院患者（效应量0.454标准差，P < 0.001）的PTSD症状发生率显著升高。闯入性图像是最突出的升高症状。为这些人提供足够的精神科服务将至关重要。
