). If psychiatric disorder yes/no was entered instead of number of psychiatric disorder, OR = 0.96 [95%CI: 0.74–1.24). If number of MINI diagnoses was entered instead of self-rated psychiatric disorders, OR = 1.05 . When bodily pain was added as an independent variable to the regression analysis, it was a strong predictor ; the other predictors remained the same.
When the regression analyses were repeated using the DSM-IV diagnoses instead of self-reported psychiatric disorders, the DSM IV diagnoses of GAD and MDD were significant predictors of CFS. But neither were predictors of fibromyalgia: GAD OR = 1.02 [0.71–1.48]). MDD: OR = 0.89 [0.57–1.37]).This study concerned participants with marked muscle pain at baseline who reported onset of self-reported fibromyalgia during the follow-up; these participants had been excluded from the previous study .
The limitations include the predictors, which did not include recent infection, childhood abuse and health anxiety as these are not included in the Lifelines database (
