Popis: Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are known to occur after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Peritraumatic distress has been indicated as a risk factor for PTSD and can be measured by the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory (PDI). However, no studies have yet measured peritraumatic distress after ACS using the PDI to predict PTSD. Objectives: This prospective cohort study examined the impact of peritraumatic distress on PTSD symptoms at 6 months after ACS. Methods: We used the PDI to assess peritraumatic distress in patients treated for ACS at a teaching hospital in Tokyo within 7 days after percutaneous coronary intervention. They were followed up over the next 6 months and were assessed for PTSD symptoms at 6 months using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised. The association between peritraumatic distress and PTSD symptoms was examined by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The study enrolled 101 ACS patients, and 97 completed the follow-up assessment. PDI total score was an independent predictor of PTSD symptoms after adjustment for potential covariates (beta = 0.38; p
