Posttraumatic stress disorder in childhood and adolescence: Issues on diagnosis and assessment Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare DSM-IV, DSM-5 and alternative criteria for PTSD, in three independent samples, with the purpose of analyzing their suitability. The sample consisted of 361 minors with ages between 8 and 18 years, (122 community sample, 86 minors that suffered chronic family violence and 153 minors exposed to intimate partner violence). From the entire sample, 52.9% (n = 191) were girls and 47.1% (n = 170) were boys. The CPPS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale) was administered. The results showed a better PTSD diagnostic valuation using alternative criteria for the different ages and sample groups. An exhaustive revision of current PTSD diagnostic criteria for childhood and adolescence stages seem necessary.Keywords: Evaluation; diagnosis; PTSD; childhood; adolescence. Resumen: El estudio tuvo por objetivo comparar criterios DSM-IV, DSM-5 y criterios alternativos de TEPT, en tres muestras independientes con la finalidad de analizar la idoneidad de estos. La muestra se configuró con 361 menores entre los 8 y 18 años (122 muestra comunitaria; 86 menores habían sufrido maltrato intrafamiliar crónico y 153 menores expuestos a violencia de género). De la totalidad de la muestra el 52.9% (n = 191) eran chicas y el 47.1% (n = 170) chicos. Se administró la escala CPSS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale). Los resultados evidenciaron una mejor valoración diagnóstica del TEPT utilizando los criterios alternativos en las diferentes edades y en los diferentes grupos muestrales. Parece necesario una revisión exhaustiva de los criterios diagnósticos TEPT actuales en la etapa de la infancia y la adolescencia. Palabras clave: Evaluación; diagnóstico; TEPT; infancia; adolescencia.

Aims.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is typically associated with high-risk population groups, but the risk of PTSD that is associated with trauma experienced in the community, and effect of changes in diagnostic criteria in DSM-5 on prevalence in the general population, is unknown.Methods.Cross-sectional analysis of population-based data from 4558 adults aged 25–83 years resident in Caerphilly county borough, Wales, UK. Exposure to different traumatic events was assessed using categorisation of free-text descriptions of trauma. PTSD caseness was determined using items assessing Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM-IV) and DSM-5 A criteria and the Traumatic Screening Questionnaire.Results.Of the 4558 participants, 1971 (47.0%) reported a traumatic event. The most common DSM-IV A1 qualifying trauma was life-threatening illnesses and injuries (13.6%). The highest risk of PTSD was associated with assaultive violence [34.1%]. The prevalence of PTSD using DSM-IV A criteria was 14.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 12.8, 15.9%). Using DSM-5 A criteria reduced the prevalence to 8.0 (95% CI = 6.9, 9.4%), primarily due to exclusion of DSM-IV A1 qualifying events, such as life-threatening illnesses.Conclusions.Nearly one-half of a general community sample had experienced a traumatic event and of these around one in seven was a DSM-IV case of PTSD. Although the majority of research has concentrated on combat, rape and assaultive violence, life threatening illness is a more common cause of PTSD in the community. Removal of this traumatic event in DSM-5 could reduce the number of cases of PTSD by around 6.0%.

BackgroundThere is limited knowledge about the prevalence and stability of insomnia defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). We therefore provide such estimates from preschool to early adolescence and explore potential sex differences.MethodsWe followed a representative community sample (n=1037) biennially from 4 to 14 years of age (2007–2017). Insomnia diagnoses and symptoms were captured by a semistructured clinical interview of parents and children (from age 8 years).ResultsAt ages 4 and 6 years approximately 2.5% of children met the criteria for insomnia, whereas at ages 8, 10, 12 and 14 years the prevalence ranged from 7.5% to 12.3%. During the 10-year period examined nearly 1 in 5 children had insomnia at least once (18.7%). Sex differences were apparent with DSM-IV, but not DSM-5, criteria: boys (8.1%) had more insomnia than girls (4.5%) did at ages 4–10 years, whereas girls (11.4%) had more insomnia than boys (7.1%) did at ages 12 and 14 years. Insomnia proved stable, with 22.9%–40.1% of children retaining their diagnosis 2 years later. Having current insomnia produced medium to large ORs of between 5.1 (95% CI 2.6 to 9.8) and 15.3 (95% CI 4.4 to 52.9) for subsequent insomnia 2 years later compared with not having preceding insomnia.ConclusionsInsomnia was less prevalent than previous research indicates, with nearly 1 in 5 participants having insomnia at least once between the ages of 4 and 14 years. Female preponderance emerged in early adolescence. Having insomnia at one time point was a considerable risk for subsequent insomnia, indicating that insomnia is persistent and warrants clinical attention.

The current study addresses the need for accurate measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in youth by investigating the psychometric properties of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). The factor structure, reliability, and concurrent and discriminant validity of the CPSS were investigated in a sample of 206 6th- to 12th-grade adolescents. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported a single-factor structure, which was contrary to the hypothesized three-factor structure. Scores comprising this one-factor structure were also associated with high reliability (α = .93), and tests of concurrent and discriminant validity were also strong. The implications of these findings are discussed, with particular emphasis on future directions for research on self-report measures for adolescent PTSD symptoms.
