AIM: Retrospective studies indicate that @entity1 with @entity914 and @entity161 often suffer from @entity308 before the onset of @entity716 . In a historical-prospective design, we studied the association between dysthymia in adolescence and later hospitalization for @entity914 and @entity161 . METHODS: The Israeli Draft Board screens the entire, unselected population of 16-17 years old male adolescents for @entity146 . These adolescents were followed for hospitalization for @entity914 and @entity161 using the Israeli National Psychiatric Hospitalization Case Registry. Of 275,705 male adolescents screened, 1267 (0.5%) were hospitalized for @entity914 ( @entity66 [ @entity66 ]-10 20.0-29.9), and 757 (0.3%) were hospitalized for @entity161 ( @entity66 -10 20.0-20.9) over the next 1-10 years. RESULTS: Of 275,705 male adolescents screened, 513 (0.2%) were diagnosed as suffering from dysthymia by the Draft Board. Of these adolescents, 10/513 (2.0%) were later hospitalized for @entity914 (including @entity161 , HR=3.967, 95%CI (confidence intervals): 2.129-7.390), and 4/513 (0.8%) were later hospitalized for @entity161 (HR=2.664, 95%CI: 0.997-7.116). CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based cohort of male adolescents, dysthymia was associated with increased risk for future @entity914 . Dysthymia in some adolescents might be a prodromal symptom, while in others it might be a risk factor for later @entity716 . Clinicians assessing dysthymic adolescents should be aware that these symptoms might be part of the prodrome.

Dysthymia in male adolescents is associated with increased risk of later hospitalization for XXXX : a historical-prospective cohort study.
