Notes. PTSD = Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; timing (1 = scene of accident or in ambulance; 2 = ER admission; 3 = during ER assessment or mean HR during visit; 4 = ER discharge); r = effect size; k = number of studies; ES = number of effect sizes; SE = standard error; CI = confidence interval; ρ = intraclass correlation.
