Summary of hierarchal regression analyses demonstrating the association of positive PTSD and depression screening with quality of life at 6 weeks (N = 84).

| ED Pain Score | −0.42 | 0.75 | [−4.86, −1.88] | 0.000 | |

| PTSD + Screen in ED | −0.19 | 4.11 | [−16.66, −0.27] | 0.043 | |

| Age | −0.28 | 0.15 | [−0.81, −0.18] | 0.002 | |
| Hospital Admission | −0.33 | 6.70 | [−38.10, −11.38] | 0.000 | |
| ED Pain Score | −0.37 | 0.74 | [−4.45, −1.50] | 0.000 | |
| Depression + Screen in ED | −0.23 | 4.54 | [−20.35, −2.24] | 0.015 |
Note: Model #1 tests a positive PTSD screen as a predictor of QOL; Model #2 tests a positive depression screen as a predictor of QOL. Step 1 including the covariates is the same in both models. B= standardized beta coefficient; SE B = standard error of B. PTSD= Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; ED= Emergency Department; PTSD + Screen= PTSD Positive Screen; Depression + Screen= Depression Positive Screen.
