Abstract
|
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common, often chronic, and has been associated with greater risk of postoperative mortality in veterans. The purpose of this study was to determine if elective outpatient surgery had a persistent and deleterious effect on the physical or mental health of veterans, and also to explore factors that contributed to health change after outpatient elective surgery in veterans with PTSD.
