TL;DR: The findings suggest that the PCL-5 is a psychometrically sound instrument that can be used effectively with veterans and that by determining a valid cutoff score using the CAPS-5, the instrument can now be used to identify veterans with probable PTSD.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the CAPS-5 is a psychometrically sound measure of DSM–5 PTSD diagnosis and symptom severity and that it provides continuity in evidence-based assessment of PTSD in the transition from DSM–IV to DSM-5 criteria.

TL;DR: This trial provides some of the most encouraging results of PTSD treatment for veterans with chronic PTSD and supports increased use of cognitive- behavioral treatments in this population.

TL;DR: Prolonged exposure is an effective treatment for PTSD in female veterans and active-duty military personnel and it is feasible to implement prolonged exposure across a range of clinical settings.

TL;DR: PTSD symptoms were associated with increased onset of arterial, lower gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and musculoskeletal disorders, and there was only weak evidence that PTSD mediated the effects of combat exposure on morbidity.
