Perhaps. But it's also a cohort selection issue...

The Institute of Medicine report discredited this study because of that, stating,

“A study suggesting a role for childhood trauma in ME/CFS used the broad empirical definition of ME/CFS, which resulted in a biased sample with overrepresentation of individuals with depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Heim et al., 2009). The unusually high proportion of subjects with serious psychiatric problems likely explains the study finding of an association between ME/CFS and adverse childhood experiences. No other studies have suggested a higher rate of childhood trauma in those with confirmed ME/CFS as opposed to nonspecific chronic fatigue."​

 

The two Heim et al CDC child trauma studies used the so-called empiric criteria (Reeves et al, 2005). I had this letter published challenging those criteria:

Jobs for the "old" boys.

 

HELP! (Wanted to put this in HUGE blinking bold bright letters but that and PwME don't mix. )

 

Yes, amazing how he appears like magic when it suits, considering QMUL said that they couldn't get anyone to sort out the PACE trial data as he had left. (I think @Barry pointed this out on the other thread:
