Summary

This study looked at whether a simple questionnaire called the City Birth Trauma Scale (CityBiTS) can accurately identify post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to childbirth. Researchers recruited 67 women who had given birth, had them fill out the questionnaire, and then compared the results to a full diagnostic interview. The goal was to find the best cutoff scores for the questionnaire to improve screening for birth-related PTSD.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve screening for birth-related PTSD, helping more women get diagnosed and treated earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (67 people) that only tested a questionnaire's accuracy. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.

Who is studied

Recruitment was performed from a risk group of individuals with a higher likelihood of having BR-PTSD than the average population, to decrease the number of needed diagnostic interviews. Recruitment was made achieved via two different paths. Since birth complications are important risk factors for BR-PTSD, individuals with documented medical complications during birth were recruited from nine birth units in different parts of Sweden for the first path. These were identified by the following diagnostic codes in medical records. Those meeting inclusion criteria were invited by postal mail, including information about the study as well as a link and QR-code to the first survey. The second recruitment path was via social media. The ad invited those who had recently given birth and experienced the birth as difficult.
