Incident Chronic Spinal Pain and Depressive Disorders: Data From the National Comorbidity Survey.

ABSTRACT: This study examined pre-existing depression as a risk factor for the development of chronic spinal pain, and pre-existing chronic spinal pain as a risk factor for the development of depression. Data from the National Comorbidity Survey, a stratified sample of 5,001 participants evaluated in 1990 to 1992 (NCS-1) and again in 2000 to 2001 (NCS-2) were used to address these associations. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios and time-to-incidence after NCS-1. Participants with antecedent acute or chronic depressive disorders at NCS-1 were more likely to develop chronic spinal pain in the ensuing 10 years compared with participants without depressive disorders. Those with antecedent chronic spinal pain at NCS-1 were more likely to develop dysthymic disorder than subjects without ch
