Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit Predisposes the Later Development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Crit Care, 2007) (see Delirium, [[Delirium]]) [MEDLINE]
Meta-Analysis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Survivors of Critical Illness (Crit Care Med, 2015) [MEDLINE]: 20% of critical illness survivors had PTSD at 1 year
Higher Prevalence of PTSD was Observed in Patients with Comorbid Psychopathology, Patients Who Had Received Benzodiazepines, and in Patients Who Had Early Memories of Frightening ICU Experiences
Use of Corticosteroids, Length of ICU Stay, Age, and Severity of Illness Did Not Correlate with the Risk of Developing PTSD
