About this study

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric pathology noticed in the DSM-5, in troubles due to a traumatism or a stress factor and appearing at least 1 month after confrontation with trauma. This trouble can become chronic, and be the source of psychiatric and somatic comorbidities, which themselves have personal, professional and economic consequences at the level of the individual and society.

Some studies looked at the psychological effects induced by a stay in intensive care unit (ICU) since few years. The emergence of PTSD in these patients has been described, with an incidence varying from 4% to 60%.

The literature is contradictory about identified risk factors for PTSD. It's not possible to design a screening of these patients actually, only focused on the risk factors. It has been shown that the presence of acute stress trouble (presence of symptoms during the first month after the traumatism) was a risk factor for PTSD. Early detection of acute stress disorder could be a way to screen risk of emergence of a post-intensive care PTSD. Post-intensive care consultations have been done at 6 months, but not systematically. Only few symptoms are looked for and a sizable part of this population were not being followed probably due to a non-diagnosed-PTSD. In case of the emergence of a post-intensive care PTSD, those patients will never be diagnosed and treated, favoring all complications linked to this trouble.

Associated with other factors, IES-R (Impact Event Scale Revisited) at the ICU exit would permit an exhaustive screening of patients at risk for PTSD and could permit to propose them an adapted care and then limit the emergence of PTSD and its consequences..

In this study, the investigators will screen acute stress symptoms within 8 days following the ICU's exit, using the IES-R, in order to evaluate his ability to predict the emergence of a PTSD at three months. IES-R is an auto-questionnaire, easy and fast with good psychometrics capacities for PTSD.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Impact Event Scale Revisited

    Impact Event Scale Revisited (IES-R) will be carried out by a psychiatry clinician within 8 days following the intensive care unit in order to evaluate his ability to predict the emergence of a PTSD at three months. IES-R is an auto-questionnaire, easy and fast with good psychometrics capacities for PTSD.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impact Event Scale Revisited (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2018.
