From Jonathan R.T. Davidson, MD regarding the SPRINT:

"The SPRINT can serve as a measure of the severity ofPTSD symptoms in people
who have survived a serious trauma. Even if they do not meet the diagnostic
criteria ofPTSD, the scale can provide an indication of how severe of a problem
these symptoms might be. The scale can be given at any time after the event, and
the items are usually rated for the previous week. In the original report (Connor
KM, Davidson JRT Int Clin Psychopharmacology 2001; 16: 279-284), a score of
18 or above corresponded to marked or severe illness, while a mean score of 17
corresponded to moderate symptoms ofPTSD. Scores around 10 corresponded to
mild symptoms, and scores of 6 or less indicated either no or minimal symptoms.

For the purposes of diagnostic screening, if one assumes a 20% prevalence of


PTSD in the population, then a cut off score of 14 or greater was found to carry a
95% sensitivity to detect PTSD, and 96% specificity for ruling out the diagnosis,
with an overall accuracy of correct assignment being 96%. In a population with
greater than 20% PTSD rates, the cut off threshold may be lower, as described in
more detail by Connor and Davidson (200 1).

For a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, it is recommended that a clinical


evaluation also be conducted in situations where PTSD is a possibility."

I think this should give you what you need - let me know if there are still
questions. I would not worry about the number of days since the event as far as the
SPRINT goes - if you have a high score of say 25 after 2 weeks, it's likely that
some form of monitoring and/or intervention is going to be required unless the
symptoms go away of their own accord rapidly.

All the best, Jonathan"
