Post-traumatic Psychopathology and Cardiovascular Risk: A Danish Case-Control Study of Sex-Specific Associations
Abstract: Background There is increasing recognition that trauma exposure and related psychiatric consequences predict cardiovascular disease risk. However, most research has specifically examined post-traumatic stress disorder-despite evidence that a range of psychiatric disorders may follow trauma. We applied machine learning to identify key post-traumatic psychiatric predictors of incident major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in a population-based cohort. Methods We conducted a case-control study of…

We applied machine learning to identify key post-traumatic psychiatric predictors of incident major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in a population-based cohort. Machine learning model predictors included a range of psychiatric disorders diagnosed ≤3 years following trauma.

The rundown
We applied machine learning to identify key post-traumatic psychiatric predictors of incident major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in a population-based cohort. Methods We conducted a case-control study of adults aged ≥18 years, nested within a trauma-exposed cohort of all Denmark residents from 1995 to 2018.
