Predicting PTSD risk in intensive care survivors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study aims to create a tool that predicts whether patients who survive a stay in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you participate, your medical data will be used to help build this prediction model, which could improve future care for others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests different tools (like brochures or apps) that may help family members of ICU patients feel more informed and supported. It looks at whether these tools improve the overall experience during a stressful time in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or borderline personality disorder manage their emotions. It may help find better ways to support emotional health.
This study asks people who recently left the intensive care unit (ICU) about their comfort and experiences during their stay. The goal is to understand how to reduce discomfort for future ICU patients.
This study looks at how inflammation and genetics affect thinking and emotional recovery after a serious illness requiring ICU care. It aims to find ways to predict who may need more support during recovery.
This study tests whether early psychological support after sepsis in the ICU can reduce the chance of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you recently left the ICU after sepsis, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether watching a short video in the emergency department can reduce the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after your visit. If you participate, you'll watch the video and then answer a questionnaire by email one month later.
