With the COVID-19 pandemic prompting predictions of a "grief pandemic," rates and risks for Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) warrant further investigation. Data were collected online from 1470 respondents between October 2020 and July 2021. Shorter time since death, deaths of siblings and "others," and deaths from accidents and homicides were positively associated with potential risk of probable PGD; deaths of extended family and from dementia were negatively associated with probable PGD. When compared directly to deaths from COVID-19, natural causes of death were associated with lower potential risk of probable PGD, while deaths from unnatural causes were associated with higher potential risk.
随着 COVID-19 大流行引发了“悲伤大流行”的预测，延长哀伤障碍（PGD）的发生率和风险值得进一步研究。本研究于 2020 年 10 月至 2021 年 7 月期间通过在线方式收集了 1470 名受访者的数据。与可能患有 PGD 的潜在风险呈正相关的因素包括：死亡时间较短、兄弟姐妹和“其他人”的死亡以及意外和凶杀导致的死亡；与可能患有 PGD 的潜在风险呈负相关的因素包括：大家庭成员的死亡和痴呆导致的死亡。与 COVID-19 死亡直接相比，自然原因导致的死亡与较低的可能患有 PGD 的潜在风险相关，而非自然原因导致的死亡与较高的可能患有 PGD 的潜在风险相关。
