背景：在下一版精神障碍诊断和统计手册（DSM-V）中，复杂性悲伤（CG）被提议作为一个独特的诊断类别。然而，迄今为止，很少有流行病学研究在一般人群中测量 CG。方法：通过面对面接触，在一项代表性的基于人群的调查（N = 2520）中检查 CG 的患病率、社会人口学特征和悲伤相关因素。样本包括所有失去亲人的亚人群和 14 至 95 岁的所有年龄组。 结果：严重丧亲后发生 CG 的条件患病率为 6.7%；一般样本中CG的患病率为3.7%。发生 CG 风险较高的预测因素是女性、较低收入（61 岁）、失去孩子或配偶或癌症作为死因。 局限性：失去亲人的样本很小，某些类别包含的病例很少。本研究未评估精神科合并症。结论：结果表明 CG 在人群中普遍存在，并确定了危险因素。 (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Background: Complicated grief (CG) has been proposed as a distinct diagnostic category in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). However, few epidemiological studies to date have measured CG in the general population.Methods: Prevalence of CG, sociodemographic characteristics, and grief-related factors were examined in a representative population-based survey (N=2520) through face-to-face contact. The sample included all bereaved subpopulations and all age groups from 14 to 95 years.Results: The conditional prevalence of developing CG after major bereavement was 6.7%; the prevalence of CG in the general sample was 3.7%. Predictors of higher risk for developing CG were female gender, lower income ( 61 years), having lost a child or a spouse, or cancer as the cause of death.Limitations: The sample of bereaved people was small, and some categories contained very few cases. Psychiatric comorbidities were not assessed in this study.Conclusions: The results indicate that CG is prevalent in the population, and risk factors were identified. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
