An AI tool can analyze patients' narratives about injuries that sent them to the emergency room to predict who will later develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a new study found.
Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the new study found that the team's set of AI models - each analyzing the trauma narratives of 145 ED patients - correctly identified more than 95.4 percent of at-risk patients.
In a head-to-head test, the AI tool, called PREVIA, flagged 100 percent of 30 cases from the same patient group that went on to develop PTSD, while an ED clinician specializing in PTSD correctly identified 89 percent of these cases.
