Sažetak
Background:Efficacy of treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been confirmed in controlled trials. However it is remains unclear what is effectiveness of treatment in people suffering from PTSD following war trauma, particularly in post war countries. Aim:Aim of this pragmatic trial was to determine outcomes in patients receiving treatment for PSTD and to explore which patient characteristics predict improvement. Method:Four specialised treatment centres with expertise in treating patients with war related PTSD in former Yugoslavia recruited 463 patients with PTSD into their treatment programmes. Patients were interviewed at baseline (beginning of treatment) and followed up for 12 months. Results:Fifty five out of 379 patients who were interviewed after 12 months improved and did not meet criteria for PTSD anymore. In univariate analysis, improvement was associated with not having war veteran status, being younger, not having had previous psychiatric treatment, not having received compensation and having lower baseline level of PTSD symptoms. In multivariate analysis when all of the above elements were taken into account, not having status of a war veteran and having lower baseline level of PTSD remained significant predictors of improvement. Conclusions:A large majority of patients with PTSD did not improve after 12 months. These results raise questions about effectiveness of current treatment programmes.
