Lower rates of anxiety disorder (63.49% vs 76.57%, p = 0.0489), bipolar disorder (14.29% vs 26.29%, p = 0.0445), and eating disorder (20.63% vs 34.86%, p = 0.0319) were observed in those with natural recovery versus current trichotillomania in unadjusted analyses, but all three associations were no longer significant after controlling for age (p = 0.1258, 0.1309, 0.1267 respectively).
| Effect size | Anxiety: age-adjusted p = 0.1258; Bipolar: age-adjusted p = 0.1309; Eating: age-adjusted p = 0.1267 |
| Follow-up | 12 months |
| Comparator | Adults with current trichotillomania |
| Effect summary | null; Anxiety: age-adjusted p = 0.1258; Bipolar: age-adjusted p = 0.1309; Eating: age-adjusted p = 0.1267 |
| Effect modifiers | [{"modifier": "Age", "interaction_p": "", "direction": "attenuates", "stratum_details": "Associations between anxiety/bipolar/eating disorder comorbidity and natural recovery were significant in unadjusted analysis but lost significance after controlling for age", "plain_language": "The initial link between these conditions and not recovering naturally was actually explained by age differences between the groups", "annotation_notes": "Age was the only demographic variable that differed significantly between natural recovery and current TTM groups. After age adjustment, these three comorbidities lost significance while OCD, ADHD, panic, skin picking, and tic disorder remained significant."}] |
