About this trial
The objective of this study is to evaluate correlation between Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) score immediately in patients who have experienced psychotrauma and occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder at distance from traumatic event. This could allow, in future, implementation of a systematic telephone reminder of psychotraumatized patients when they have a high score on the CGI scale, and thus detect onset of a stress disorder as early as possible, post-traumatic and orientation of these patients on specialized care.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patient who has experienced a traumatic event in the last 48 hours;
Patient speaking French;
Disqualifiers
Patient participating in another clinical trial on the treatment of his psychotraumatic experience.
Person deprived of liberty (prisoners, defendants);
Persons under legal protection (protected adults: under guardianship, curatorship, etc.);
Opposition of the patient to participate in the research.
Trial population
Patient who has experienced a traumatic event in the last 48 hours All patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be identified by the staff of the CUMP (medico-psychological emergency unit) either during an intervention (in the emergency department or outside) or during a psychiatric consultation at the emergencies

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Psychometric properties of the CGI as a predictor of occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder
Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) severity item provided with a seven-point scale of severity of patient's clinical condition (1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients.)
Secondary outcomes
Correlation between CGI score and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory scale score (PDI)
Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) severity item provided with a seven-point scale of severity of the patient's clinical condition (1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients). PDI consists of 13 likert-style items and total score can range from 0 to 52. Higher total scores represent greater symptom burden. Lower scores represent better outcomes.
Correlation coefficient between CGI score and PCL 5 score at 1 month.
Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) severity item provided with a seven-point scale of severity of the patient's clinical condition (1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients). The PCL-5 (Post-traumatic stress disorder Checlist version DSM-5) is a self-assessment comprising 20 items that measures the 20 symptoms of a post-traumatic stress disorder from the DSM-5 (MANUAL. DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICS. OF DISORDERS MENTALS. 5th edition.). The objectives of the PCL-5 are numerous, such as monitoring changes in symptoms during and after treatment, screening individuals with an episode of post-traumatic stress, making a provisional diagnosis.
Correlation coefficient between CGI score and PCL 5 score at 6 months.

Presence/absence of a major depressive episode at 1 month in connection with traumatic event
Presence/absence of a major depressive episode assessed by the MINI at 1 month. Search for an association between the CGI score and the presence of a major depressive episode. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) is a short structured clinical interview which enables researchers to make diagnoses of psychiatric disorders according to DSM-IV or ICD-10 and was designed for epidemiological studies and multicenter clinical trials.
