SummaryObjective.Although somatoform disorders are assumed to be chronic clinical conditions, epidemiological knowledge on their natural course based on representative samples is not available.Method.Data come from a prospective epidemiologic study of adolescents and young adults in Munich, Germany. Respondents’ diagnoses (N = 2548) at baseline and follow-up on average 42 months later are considered. The follow-up incidence, stability as well as selected baseline risk factors (sociodemographics, psychopathology, trauma exposure) for the incidence and stability of somatoform disorders and syndromes are prospectively examined. Diagnostic information was assessed by using the standardized Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (M-CIDI).Results.Over the follow-up period, incidence rate for any of the covered somatoform diagnoses was 25.7%. Stability for the overall group of any somatoform disorder/syndrome was 48%. Female gender, lower social class, the experience of any substance use, anxiety and affective disorder as well as the experience of traumatic sexual and physical threat events predicted new onsets of somatoform conditions, while stability was predicted by being female, prior existing substance use, affective and eating disorders as well as the experience of a serious accident.Conclusions.At least for a substantial proportion of individuals, the overall picture of somatization seems to be relatively stable, but with fluctuation in the symptom picture over time. Being female, the experience of substance use as well as anxiety disorder seem to constitute risk factors for the onset of new somatoform conditions as well as for a stable course over time.

243 Background: Much of the literature describing psychosocial consequences of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) has reported negative outcomes; however, AYAs also have potential for protective, positive outcomes. We aimed to prospectively characterize AYA patient-reported benefit and burden-finding after cancer diagnosis and hypothesized that benefit finding would be a salient coping mechanism. Methods: Semi-structured, 1:1 interviews were conducted with AYA patients after cancer diagnosis at 3 time points over 2 years, to elicit their expectations, hopes, worries, personal strengths, and challenges. A priori coding themes were defined from validated scales: changed sense of self, relationships, philosophy of life, and physical well-being. Verbatim transcripts were coded using content analyses by 3 independent coders for instances of benefit or burden by construct. Raw counts, ratios, and confidence intervals were calculated and compared by patient and time point. Results: Seventeen patients (mean age 17.1 ± 2.7; 8 [47%] male) completed 44 interviews with > 100 hours of transcript-data. Most common diagnoses were sarcoma (n = 8), acute leukemia (n = 6), and lymphoma (n = 3). Twelve patients completed all 3 interviews; reasons for withdrawal included death in all but 2 cases. Mean (±SD) counts of patient-reported benefit were higher than burden at each time point (T1, T2, T3); the benefit: burden ratio was > 1 in 68% of interviews (Table). Of the themes, changed sense of self was the most common benefit identified (44% of all reported benefits [95% CI 37%, 52%]) whereas physical complaints was the most common burden (32% [95% CI 25%, 39%]). Longitudinal analysis of subthemes among patients completing 3 interviews (N = 12) indicated an increase in self-identified positive and negative impact of cancer on personal, social and existential perspectives. Conclusions: AYA patients with cancer identified more benefits than burdens related to their diagnoses at all times studied. There was a shift over time in the distribution of benefit and burden finding constructs which may highlight areas for potential intervention. [Table: see text]
