Validity of a single PTSD checklist item to screen for insomnia in survivors of critical illness.
Heart & Lung : the Journal of Critical Care 2018 March
BACKGROUND: There is no insomnia screening tool validated in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors.
OBJECTIVES: To examine the validity of a single item from the PTSD checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C) to detect insomnia by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of data from a longitudinal investigation in 120 medical-surgical ICU survivors. At 1 year post-ICU, patients completed ISI, PCL-C, and Medical Short-Form 12 (SF-12) by telephone. A single PCL-C item rates difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep over the past month. We compared performance characteristics of this PCL-C item to ISI-defined insomnia (ISI ≥15).
RESULTS: A score of ≥3 on the PCL-C sleep item exhibited 91% sensitivity and 67% specificity for ISI-defined insomnia (ISI ≥ 15), and it demonstrated construct validity by correlation to related QOL indices.
CONCLUSIONS: A single PCL-C sleep item score ≥ 3 is a reasonable screen to identify insomnia symptoms in ICU survivors.
