本研究调查了越南战争退伍军人的霍尔斯特德-雷坦神经心理测试组的Trail Making Test中与表现相关的变量。有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人和没有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人在两项测试中的表现都有显著差异。在排除药物（抗焦虑药、抗抑郁药和心脏药）、共病诊断（酒精或药物滥用史、重度抑郁症和共病焦虑症史）和寻求补偿状态的亚组分析中，试验B组差异仍然显著。然而，亚组分析表明，在trail A中较差的表现受到抗焦虑和心脏药物以及激烈战斗暴露状态的影响。
The present study investigated variables associated with performance on the Trail Making Test from the Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological test battery in Vietnam combat veterans. There was a significant difference in performance between veterans with and without PTSD on both parts of the Trail Making Test. In subgroup analyses excluding participants on medications (antianxiety, antidepressant, and cardiac), comorbid diagnoses (history of alcohol or substance abuse, history of major depression and comorbid anxiety disorder) and compensation-seeking status, the group difference on Trails B remained significant. However subgroup analyses suggested that poorer performance on Trails A was influenced by antianxiety and cardiac medications as well as heavy combat exposure status.
