Remission from Alcohol Use Disorder among Males in the Lundby Cohort during 1947–1997

Table 3

Frequencies of mental disorders in subjects in remission and those who did not remit from AUD for 312 males with known age at onset of AUD. Percentages are given in parentheses. P-values refer to testing the equalities in proportion of mental disorder for those who achieved remission and those who did not.

Mental disorders, n (%)	Not remitted; N=248	Remitted; N=64	P-values
Anxiety disorders	9 (14.1)	24 (9.7)	0.309
Depressive disorders	10 (15.6)	50 (20.2)	0.412
Mixed neurosis	5 (2.0)	2 (3.1)	0.593
Organic syndrome	5 (7.8)	9 (3.6)	0.149
Dementia	6 (9.4)	18 (7.3)	0.571
Psychotic disorders	2 (7.7)	10 (4.0)	0.737
DT and alc-induced	6 (9.4)	18 (7.3)	0.571

DT: delirium tremens; alc-induced: alcohol-induced psychotic disorder. Chi-square test showed no significant differences between subjects in presence of mental disorder. Note: mental disorders could have occurred prior to or after remission.
