The review aimed to summarize the existing knowledge base regarding post-traumatic stress disorder after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and try to guide future research.
Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases were used to identify original studies that explored the relationship between severe TBI and post-traumatic stress disorder.
A total of 13 studies were included in the review. They have been examined in terms of potentially compatible and incompatible mechanisms, as well as of possible confounding factors in relation to the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder after severe TBI.
Only a few studies in the literature have addressed the present topic; therefore, the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in patients with severe TBI still needs to be further investigated. In particular, future studies should be conducted only in severe TBI populations, considering their premorbid personality characteristics and their reactivity alteration. They should also obtain an accurate and appropriate assessment of post-traumatic stress disorder with clinical interviews as well as clarifying the role of post-traumatic amnesia in this population by incorporating control groups of patients.
本综述旨在总结关于重度创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后创伤后应激障碍的现有知识库，并试图指导未来的研究。
使用科学网、Scopus和PubMed数据库来识别探索重度TBI与创伤后应激障碍之间关系的原始研究。
本综述共纳入13项研究。这些研究已根据潜在的相容和不相容机制以及与重度TBI后创伤后应激障碍诊断相关的可能混杂因素进行了审查。
文献中仅有少数研究涉及本主题；因此，重度TBI患者中创伤后应激障碍的患病率仍需进一步研究。特别是，未来的研究应仅在重度TBI人群中进行，考虑他们病前的人格特征及其反应性改变。还应通过临床访谈对创伤后应激障碍进行准确和适当的评估，并通过纳入患者对照组来阐明创伤后遗忘在该人群中的作用。
