Table 4 Comorbidity between different early childhood regulation problems*.
| COMORBIDITY Diagnostic categories in the medical examinations | In subgroup where excessive crying, restless-ness is not present | In subgroup where excessive crying, restless-ness is present | Crosstabs (χ2-tests) | In subgroup where sleep disorders (sleep awakenings, sleep-onset problems) is not present | In subgroup where sleep disorders (sleep awakenings, sleep-onset problems) is present | Crosstabs (χ2-tests) | In subgroup where breast-feeding difficulty is not present | In subgroup where breast-feeding difficulty is present | Crosstabs (χ2-tests) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleep disorders (sleep awakenings, sleep-onset problems) present in (%) | 8.8% | χ(1)=106.20; <0.001 | |||||||
| Breastfeeding difficulty present in (%) | 8.2% | χ(1)=17.69; <0.001 | 12.4% | 39.1% | χ(1)=31.60; <0.001 | ||||
| Loss of appetite – normal weight gain present in (%) | 3.8% | χ(1)=10.70; p=0.001 | 4.0% | χ(1)=12.30; <0.001 | |||||
| No weight gain or weight loss – alimentary present in (%) | 2.3% | χ(1)=13.56; <0.001 | |||||||
| * Crosstabs (χ-tests): χ(df); ; frequencies of joint regulation disorders. shows the prevalence of important regulation disorders in subgroups where a specific disorder is present or not. E.g. If excessive crying is present, sleep disorders are also present in 50% of the cases, but this proportion is only 8.8% in a subgroup where excessive crying is not a significant complaint. | |||||||||
