  • Title: Insomnia.
    Author: Charles J, Harrison C, Britt H.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 2009 May; 38(5):283. PubMed ID: 19458795.
    Abstract:
    Management of insomnia rose significantly by age, from 0.2% of encounters with patients aged <25 years to 2.7% with patients aged 75 years and over. Insomnia was significantly more likely to be managed for female patients (1.4%) than for males (1.1%). Female patients were therefore significantly over represented at insomnia encounters (66.0%) compared with total BEACH encounters (57.1%), as were patients with Commonwealth concession or Repatriation health cards. Patients new to the practice and patients from non-English speaking backgrounds were under represented at insomnia encounters compared with all encounters (Figure 1).
