[The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5): comparing responsivity with the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45) and practical utility].

CONCLUSION: At first glance, the PCL-5 and the OQ-SD were equally sensitive to detect change during treatment. However, the PCL-5 provided more detailed information about the nature and severity of symptomatology in an individual patient and with the PCL-5 we were slightly better able to demonstrate clinical significant change than with the OQ-SD. We recommend to add the PCL-5 to ROM for patients with PTSD.
