    Author: Apolinaire-Gille P, Gille P, Jeannenot Y, Boucharlat J, Bost M.
    Journal: Pediatrie; 1991; 46(12):797-802. PubMed ID: 1667034.
    Abstract:
    The antecedents of pediatric hospitalization and previous history of somatic disturbance in 101 adolescents aged 12-16 yr hospitalized in a pedopsychiatric unit were compared to those of a representative population of 101 high school adolescents without psychiatric problems. Patients and controls were matched according to age, sex and parents nationality. The result showed that adolescents with psychiatric disorders were significantly more frequently hospitalized during infancy and childhood, particularly for medical reasons. They also presented many more algic syndromes, recurrent headaches, recurrent vomiting and epilepsy. Thus, recurrent pediatric hospitalization and chronic somatic disturbance appear to be warning signals of a possible psychiatric risk and should lead to a psychological investigation of the child and his relations with the family.
