In a retrospective analysis of 274 surviving war‑wounded soldiers from Afghanistan, ketamine administration was not independently associated with development of acute or post‑traumatic stress disorder; multivariable regression identified only acute stress disorder and total number of surgical procedures as independent predictors of PTSD. Although a higher proportion of PTSD cases had received ketamine on unadjusted analysis, injury severity and other covariables accounted for that association.
