Abstract

Background Chronic insomnia afflicts approximately 5-10% of the adult population in Western industrialized countries. Insomnia may be secondary, i.e. triggered and/or maintained by psychiatric/organic illnesses, the intake of prescribed/illicit drugs or alcohol, or by a combination of these factors. Insomnia can also occur as primary insomnia, caused by a psychophysiological hyperarousal process. In the present review a literature search was undertaken to identify longitudinal epidemiological studies which investigate the question whether primary insomnia at baseline predicts the development of depression at follow-up measurements.Methods MEDLINE search for the medical subject headings insomnia and depression; identification of longitudinal epidemiological studies with at least two measurement points 1 year apart measuring insomnia and depression and indicating explicit criteria for both disorders.Results Eight relevant epidemiological studies were identified. Almost unambiguously insomnia at baseline significantly predicted an increased depression risk at follow-up 1-3 years later.Conclusion As insomniac symptoms alone seem to be of predictive value for the development of depression in the succeeding years, it would be worthwhile to investigate if early adequate treatment is able to prevent psychiatric sequelae of primary insomnia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
