Comorbid Mental Disorders Account for the Role Impairment of Commonly Occurring Chronic Physical Disorders: Results From the National Comorbidity Survey

Kessler, Ronald C., Ormel, Johan, Demler, Olga, Stang, Paul E.·2003·Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Abstract

Specify the effects of four common chronic physical disorders on role impairment (sickness absence days plus work cut-back days), and their association with comorbid mental disorders. Describe the individual and joint effects of mental disorder and physical disorder on role impairment. Evaluate competing explanations of the apparent connection between mental comorbidity and role impairment. Most health and work productivity studies have focused on individual conditions without considering comorbidity. We illustrate the implication of this neglect by examining the effects of comorbid mental disorders on role impairment (number of sickness absence and work cut-back days in the past month) among people with chronic physical disorders. A nationally representative household survey of 5877 respondents assessed current mental and physical disorders and role impairments. Four physical disorders were sufficiently common to be studied: hypertension, arthritis, asthma, and ulcers. All 4 physical disorders were associated with significant role impairments in bivariate analyses. However, further analysis showed that these impairments were almost entirely confined to cases with comorbid mental disorders. Effectiveness trials in workplace samples are needed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treating comorbid mental disorders among workers with chronic physical disorders.

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.
