Table 3.
Comparison of trauma variables for cluster B, cluster C and cluster B and C PDs (N = 92).
| Cluster B (N = 30) |
Cluster C (N = 40) |
Cluster B and C (N = 24) | Overall p-Value a |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current PTSD % (PSS-I) | 45% | 36% | 63% | 0.127 |
| PTSD severity mean (SD) (PSS-I sum score) |
25.8 (11.8) | 26.2 (13.2) | 27.4 (10.6) | 0.907 |
| Physical and/or sexual abuse < 16 years % (STI) |
70% | 53% | 73% | 0.215 |
| Other traumatic experience < 16 years % (STI) |
77% | 78% | 79% | 1.000 |
| Overall severity childhood trauma mean (SD) (CTQ) |
59.7 (18.5) | 56.1 (21.9) | 55.3 (15.6) | 0.739 |
Note. Due to missing values, the total N varies between 62 (for CTQ) and 92. PSS-I = PTSD Symptom Scale Interview; PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder; STI = Structured Trauma Interview; CTQ = Childhood Trauma Questionnaire a Based on Welch test for ANOVA (for continuous variables) or Fisher’s exact test (for dichotomous variables).
