TL;DR
Posttraumatic stress disorder persisted in 30% of patients 1 year after traumatic injury and was independently associated with a broad profile of functional impairment, and the development of treatment intervention protocols for trauma patients with PTSD is warranted.
Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder persisted in 30% of patients 1 year after traumatic injury and was independently associated with a broad profile of functional impairment. The development of treatment intervention protocols for trauma patients with PTSD is warranted.

1,002 Citations1998Arieh Y. Shalev, Sara Freedman +5 more
Major depression and PTSD are independent sequelae of traumatic events, have similar prognoses, and interact to increase distress and dysfunction and both should be targeted by early treatment interventions and by neurobiological research.

Alcohol abuse is associated with an increased risk of readmission for new trauma, and trauma patients should be screened for alcohol problems; referral of problem drinkers for appropriate care may decrease their risk of admission for subsequent trauma.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder after Injury: Impact on General Health Outcome and Early Risk Assessment
203 Citations1999Andrew J. Michaels, Claire E. Michaels +5 more
The data suggest that psychological morbidity is an important part of the patient's perceived general health after trauma, and PTSD compromises self-reported general health outcome in injured adults independent of baseline status, Injury Severity Score, or degree of physical recovery.

81 Citations1986Ellen J. MacKenzie, Sam Shapiro +3 more
It is shown that the AIS of the most severe extremity and spinal cord injury carry considerably more weight when predicting functional status at discharge and 6 months after discharge than do the A IS scores of injuries to any other body region, although the relative explanatory power of each type of injury varies with the nature of the functional disability.
