The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of key factors such as cognitive flexibility, social support, and physiological stress on the occurrence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adult trauma patients treated in the emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is:
Among emergency department patients who have experienced major trauma, can factors such as early post-trauma cognitive flexibility, level of social support, inflammatory markers, and trauma severity predict the development of PTSD within 6 months? Participants will complete a series of online questionnaires and clinical assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the traumatic event.
2,239 studies on the registry are indexed under Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic; 554 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 250 is above the median of 136 across 295 observational studies indexed under Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic.

This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study that plans to enroll a total of 250 adult trauma patients. The study subjects will be trauma patients seeking treatment at the Emergency Department of Xijing Hospital from January 2026 to December 2026.
Exclusion Criteria:
PTSD Incidence as Assessed by the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5)
Number of participants with a total score ≥33 on the PCL-5 (range 0-80, higher scores indicate more severe PTSD symptoms) at 6 months after the traumatic event, indicating probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Time frame: 6 months post-trauma
Association of Sociodemographic, Trauma-Related, and Psychosocial Factors with PTSD Status
Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for the association of each candidate factor (e.g., age, sex, injury severity score \[ISS\], social support \[SSRS score\], anxiety/depression \[HADS score\], cognitive flexibility \[CFI score\], inflammatory biomarkers \[IL-6, CRP\]) with probable PTSD status at 6 months, as determined by multivariable logistic regression.
Time frame: Baselin and 6 months post-trauma
