Network Analysis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in a National Sample of U.S. Adults: Implications for the Phenotype and the ICD-11 Model of PTSD.

ABSTRACT: The phenotype for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Diseases (DSM-5) includes 20 symptoms in four clusters. In contrast, the PTSD model in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) includes six symptoms in three clusters. Whether those six symptoms are, in fact, the most central symptoms of the PTSD phenotype remains an open question. In a previous network analysis of DSM-5 PTSD symptoms, Mitchell and colleagues (2017) reported limited overlap between central PTSD symptoms and those in the ICD-11 model in a national sample of U.S. veterans. The present study sought to replicate and extend upon these findings in a large national sample of U.S. adults (N = 2,953). Centrality statistics
