Meta AnalysisA Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on PTSD Following TBI Among Military/Veteran and Civilian Populations.
To determine whether persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at greater risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than other trauma-exposed populations without TBI, and whether this risk is even greater in military/veteran settings than in civilian settings. ⋯ TBI diagnosis and military setting represent greater risks for PTSD. The dual diagnosis of TBI and PTSD requires interdisciplinary collaboration, as physical and psychological traumas are closely intertwined.
