Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events, are a...

Summary

Detecting post-stroke depression (PSD) in veterans is crucial. An algorithm using ICD-9 codes or antidepressant prescriptions accurately identifies PSD patients in administrative data.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common, frequently missed, and inadequately treated.
  • Accurate identification of PSD in administrative databases remains unverified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a case-finding algorithm for post-stroke depression (PSD) in veteran stroke survivors.
  • To assess the accuracy of administrative data for detecting PSD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of veterans with acute ischemic stroke.
  • Utilized VHA and Medicare inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy data (FY 2001-2002).
  • Validated administrative data against standardized chart reviews.

Main Results:

  • 50 of 185 subjects (27%) had PSD.
  • The most sensitive algorithm combined ICD-9 depression codes or antidepressant prescriptions.
  • ICD-9 codes alone for primary/secondary diagnoses showed the highest positive predictive value.

Conclusions:

  • An algorithm combining ICD-9 codes and medication is most sensitive for PSD detection.
  • ICD-9 codes alone may suffice for cohort characterization.
  • Algorithm choice depends on the intended application for PSD detection.
