Individuals were further categorized by presence of any pretrauma psychopathology. A comparison group of individuals who experienced a nontraumatic stressor (nonsuicide death of a first-degree relative) was examined as a reference cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposures<\/jats:title>At least 1 of 8 PTEs (eg, physical assault, transportation accident) derived through health registry International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision<\/jats:italic> (ICD-10<\/jats:italic>) codes, with additional qualifiers to improve classification accuracy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Incidence of 9 categories of ICD-10<\/jats:italic> psychiatric disorders recorded in registries within 5 years of PTEs. The standardized morbidity ratios (SMRs) for psychopathology outcomes were also calculated to compare individuals experiencing PTEs with those experiencing a nontraumatic stressor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>This study included 1\u202f398\u202f026 individuals who had been exposed to trauma (475\u202f280 males [34.0%]; 922\u202f750 females [66.0%]). The group of males who had been exposed to trauma were evenly distributed across age, while most females in the trauma-exposed group were aged 16 to 39 years (592\u202f385 [64.2%]). Males and females were equally distributed across income quartiles and predominantly single. Following PTEs, the most common diagnosis was substance use disorders for males (35\u202f160 [7.4%]) and depressive disorders for females (29\u202f255 [3.2%]); incidence proportions for these and other disorders were higher among males and females with any pretrauma psychopathology. Certain PTEs had elevated onset of various psychiatric disorders and some sex differences emerged. Following physical assault, associations were found with schizophrenia or psychotic disorders for males (SMR, 17.5; 95% CI, 15.9-19.3) and adult personality disorders for females (SMR, 16.3; 95% CI, 14.6-18.3). For noninterpersonal PTEs, males had larger SMRs for substance use, schizophrenia or psychotic disorders, and adult personality disorders (SMR, 43.4; 95% CI, 41.9-45.0), and females had larger SMRs for depressive disorders (SMR, 19.0; 95% CI, 18.6-19.4). Sex differences were also observed, particularly when considering pretrauma psychopathology. For example, among interpersonal PTEs, males were most likely to develop substance use disorders after physical assault, whereas females were more likely to develop various disorders, with stronger associations seen for females without pretrauma psychiatric diagnoses. Among noninterpersonal PTEs, exposure to toxic substance showed robust associations with psychopathology, particularly in those without pretrauma psychopathology, with sex-specific differences across psychiatric categories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>Mental disorders after trauma were wide-ranging for males and females, and sex differences in patterns of posttraumatic psychopathology were more pronounced when accounting for pretrauma psychopathology. Findings provide new insights for sex-relevant PTEs and their mental health consequences. It also outlines future directions for advancing understanding of a constellation of posttraumatic psychopathology in males and females.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2024.0201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,22]],"date-time":"2024-02-22T16:33:55Z","timestamp":1708619635000},"page":"e240201","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Sex
