- Abstract: Background: Somatic disorders and somatic symptoms are common in primary care populations; however, little is known about the prevalence in surgical populations. Identification of inpatients with high somatic symptom burden and psychological co-morbidity could improve access to effective psychological therapies. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis (n = 465) from a prospective longitudinal cohort study of consecutive adult admissions with non-traumatic abdominal pain, at a tertiary hospital in New South Wales, Australia. We estimated somatic symptom prevalence with the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 at three cut-points: moderate (⩾10), severe (⩾15) and 'bothered a lot' on ⩾3 symptoms; and psychological co-morbidity with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 at standard (⩾10) cut-points. We also examined gender differences for somatic symptoms and psychological co-morbidity. Results: Prevalence was moderate (52%), female predominance (odds ratio = 1.71; 95% confidence interval = [1.18, 2.48]), severe (20%), no gender difference (1.32; [0.83, 2.10]) and 'bothered a lot' on ⩾3 symptoms (53%), female predominance (2.07; [1.42, 3.03]). Co-morbidity of depressive, anxiety and somatic symptoms ranged from 8.2% to 15.9% with no gender differences. Conclusion: Somatic symptoms were common and psychological triple co-morbidity occurred in one-sixth of a clinical population admitted for abdominal pain. Co-ordinated surgical and psychological clinical intervention and changes in clinical service organisation may be warranted to provide optimal care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
