Table 2. Prevalence Estimates (%) for DSM and ICD Past-Month PTSD across the 3 samples.

DSM-IV DSM-5 ICD-10 ICD-11
Sample 1 (community; N=2,695) 3.8 3.7 4.6 2.4
Sample 2 (veterans; N=323) 38.7 38.7 45.5 34.4
Sample 3 (veterans and partners; N=748) 35.3 -- 38.0 25.3

Note. DSM = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual; ICD = International Classification of Diseases; PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder. Using DSM-IV Criterion A exposure resulted in 67 ICD-11 PTSD cases as opposed to 66 ICD-11 cases when requiring exposure to a DSM-5 Criterion A event.
