Note. Tests of significance were conducted for the discordant group versus each concordant group. Reported p values are false discovery rate–adjusted. CAPS-IV = Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-IV; CAPS-5 = CAPS for DSM-5; DSM = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fourth [IV] and fifth [5] editions); NACM = negative alterations in cognitions and mood.
CAPS-IV total score range: 0–136; CAPS-5 total score range: 0–80.
