Association between post-traumatic stress disorder levels and serum inflammatory factors in patients undergoing digit replantation

Patients exhibit a certain degree of PTSD in the early stage after digit replantation. Its occurrence is closely associated with female gender, lower education level, severity of the trauma, and co-morbid anxiety and depression, and is significantly correlated with an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory serum factors. Serum inflammatory factors may serve as potential biological markers for the early identification of PTSD risk.
