The PTSD Biomarker Database (PTSDDB) offers a comprehensive view of physiological markers for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This resource aids researchers in exploring and comparing PTSD biomarker findings efficiently.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
- Biomedical Informatics
Background:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) research extensively investigates physiological markers.
- A centralized repository for these biomarkers is lacking, hindering comparative analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive database (PTSDDB) of physiological biomarkers for PTSD.
- To create an interactive web application for visualizing and exploring PTSD biomarker data.
Main Methods:
- Curated data from 109 articles (1997-2017) on over 900 biomarkers.
- Developed a web application with interactive visualizations for metadata, findings, and methods.
Main Results:
- The PTSDDB contains over 900 biomarkers and associated metadata.
- Interactive visualizations allow exploration of evidence levels for single biomarkers and functional categories.
Conclusions:
- PTSDDB is the first comprehensive database of PTSD biomarkers and metadata.
- This resource facilitates future PTSD biomarker research and analysis.
