To study the impact of PTSD, we used the Impact of Event Scale (IES), Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Short Form-36 (SF-36 Health Survey) and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS). In one study of 63 survivors of SARS at 3 months postdischarge from hospital in Singapore, the rate of possible PTSD, inferred from an Impact of Event Scale (IES) Score of N26, was 41.7% [15] . In a study of 195 survivors of SARS at 1 month postdischarge from hospital in Hong Kong, 10% to 18% of them reported symptoms related to PTSD [16] .	./cache/cord-269522-38dhwggn.txt	./txt/cord-269522-38dhwggn.txt
