ABSTRACT
Based on research from previous pandemics, studies of critical care survivors, and emerging COVID-19 data, we estimate that up to 30% of survivors of severe COVID will develop PTSD. PTSD is frequently undetected across primary and secondary care settings and the psychological needs of survivors may be overshadowed by a focus on physical recovery. Delayed PTSD diagnosis is associated with poor outcomes. There is a clear case for survivors of severe COVID to be systematically screened for PTSD, and those that develop PTSD should receive timely access to evidence-based treatment for PTSD and other mental health problems by multidisciplinary teams.
RESUMEN
Basados en la investigación de pandemias previas, los estudios de los sobrevivientes a cuidados críticos, y los datos emergentes de COVID-19, estimamos que hasta un 30% de los sobrevivientes del COVID grave desarrollarán TEPT. El TEPT es frecuentemente subdetectado en los servicios de salud primarios y secundarios y las necesidades psicológicas de los sobrevivientes puede verse eclipsadas por un enfoque en la recuperación física. El diagnóstico tardío de TEPT se asocia con pobres resultados. Existe un caso claro para que los sobrevivientes del COVID grave sean evaluados sistemáticamente para detectar el TEPT, y aquellos que desarrollan un TEPT deben tener acceso oportuno a tratamientos basados en la evidencia para el TEPT y para otros problemas de salud mental por equipos multidisciplinarios.
