Insomnia in pediatric obsessive–compulsive disorder : prevalence and association with multimodal treatment outcomes in a naturalistic clinical setting
(2019) In Sleep Medicine 56. p.104-110- Abstract
Objective: Little is known about the prevalence and impact of insomnia on clinical outcomes in youth with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). This study aimed to investigate this subject. Patients/methods: A total of 193 patients from a specialist pediatric OCD clinic completed a range of diagnostic and clinical measures, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Patients scoring above a previously validated cut-off on the ISI (score ≥9)were compared to the rest of the sample on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. In a subsample of 143 (from the initial 193)patients who were treated at the clinic, a mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA)was used to compare the outcomes of multimodal OCD treatment in the insomnia (N =...

Patients scoring above a previously validated cut-off on the ISI (score ≥9)were compared to the rest of the sample on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. In a subsample of 143 (from the initial 193)patients who were treated at the clinic, a mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA)was used to compare the outcomes of multimodal OCD treatment in the insomnia (N = 60)vs no insomnia (N = 83)groups. The primary outcome measure was the clinician-administered Children's Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS)at post-treatment and at three-month follow-up. Results: The psychometric properties of the ISI in our sample were excellent. At baseline, 42% (81/193)of the sample scored above the ISI cut-off for clinical insomnia. These participants had significantly higher OCD severity, higher rates of psychiatric comorbidities, more severe depressive symptoms, poorer general functioning, and were more likely to take sleep medications, compared to those who scored below the ISI cut-off. In the treated subsample, while the insomnia group remained more severely affected through the three time-points, both groups improved similarly on the CY-BOCS at post-treatment and at three-month follow-up. Conclusion: Insomnia is relatively common in pediatric OCD and is associated with more severe psychopathology. However, with adequate multimodal, evidence-based treatment, these patients can improve as much as those without insomnia.
