The Prevalence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder as Part of Post-ICU Syndrome among Israeli ICU Survivors

CONCLUSIONS: We found lower incidence of PTSD in our cohort when compared to existing literature. Possible explanations include different diagnostic tools and low risk factors rate. Unique national, cultural, and/or religious perspectives might have contributed to the observed low PTSD rate. Further research in larger study populations is required to establish the prevalence of PTSD among Israeli ICU survivors.PMID:38493331
