  1. H-group represents those with hyperkinetic disorders; MA-group represents mood or anxiety disorders; HMA-group represents hyperkinetic and mood or anxiety disorders. The diagnostic groups of “other disorders” (n = 54), “eating disorders” (n = 22), and “autism spectrum disorders” (n = 39) are a included in the sample of adolescents with a psychiatric disorder in this table (n = 566), but were too diverse to be included in the three main groups of disorders (n = 451). The numbers in this table, for example 393/560 (70.4), indicate that 393 out of 560 adolescents with a psychiatric disorder had chronic pain, which show that we had six missing values (n = 566). This applies to the entire table.
