Abstract Introduction Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is considered the first-choice treatment for Insomnia Disease (ID). The bi-directional causal relationship between insomnia and depression is recognized. Aim of our study is to investigate the role of depressive symptoms in predicting CBT-I outcomes, and the effectiveness of the treatment both on insomnia and depression. Methods 77 ID patients (mean age 38.2±10.4 years, 69.2% females) underwent 7-sessions group CBT-I and were assessed pre- (T0) post- (T1) and at long-term after CBT-I (T2=7.6±1.6 years after treatment). The primary outcomes are Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Sleep Diary parameters. The secondary outcome is Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI). Patients were divided in two groups according to BDI baseline score (≥14): depressive (D) vs non-depressive (ND). Results All patients showed significant improvements at ISI score at T1 that were maintained at T2 (T0=16.2±4.8 vs T1=8.2±4.5 vs T2=10.0±6.1;p<0.001). Also Sleep Diary parameters (sleep latency, wake after sleep onset and sleep efficiency) showed significant improvement at T1 (p<0.001). Moreover all patients showed improvements of depressive symptoms at T1 that were maintained at T2 (T0=10.8±6.8 vs T1=6.2±5.5 vs T2=8.2±6.6; p<0.001). Indeed, if 29.3% if ID patients at T0 presented clinically significant depressive symptoms (BDI≥14), only 9.7% at T1 and 20.5% at T2. Nevertheless, we found an interaction between ISI along time (T0-T1-T2) and D vs ND group membership (ISI_TREAT*BDI_BL_GROUP Sig=p<0.05). In other words, group D patients at baseline showed a worsening of insomnia symptoms at the long-term evaluation (T2). Conclusion CBT-I showed improvements both in insomnia and in depressive symptoms at the end of treatment that are maintained at long-term (7.6yrs after treatment). Nevertheless, clinically significant depressive symptoms at the baseline predicted a worsening of insomnia at the long-term evaluation. This could suggest the need of a more frequent follow-up evaluation of CBT-I efficacy in those patients presenting depressive symptoms at the baseline. Support (if any) None

IntroductionCognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be an effective treatment of excessive health anxiety (HA), but the long-term effect over 18months has not been examined.ObjectivesSeveral studies have shown effect of CBT for HA-patients. However, these effects have been short or immediate after therapy. To our knowledge no studies have examined long-term effect of CBT for HA over 18 months.AimsTo investigate the long-term effect of CBT on HA, focusing on level of HA, quality of life, subjective health complaints and general anxiety. Follow-up time was at least 10 years. Our hypothesis was that the effect was sustained.MethodsPatients with HA received 16 sessions of CBT over a period of 12–18 months, and were followed up over at least 10 years. All patients fulfilled criteria for F45.2, hypochondriacal disorder according to ICD-10.The patients answered several questionnaires, exploring areas such as HA, Quality of life, somatization, and mental health problems. Questionnaires were answered before CBT, after CBT and at follow up. Mixed model analysis was performed in SPSS 23.0 for all questionnaires.ResultsAll scores were found to be significant in the Pre-CBT–Post-CBT and Pre-CBT–FU (0.034– < 0.001), and none were found to be significant in the Post-CBT–FU.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that for the majority of patients with HA, CBT has a significant and lasting long-term effect. This effect lasts up to ten years post therapy.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be effectively treated by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP). Yet, little is known about the long-term effects of inpatient CBT up to one decade after treatment. Thirty patients who had been treated with 12 weeks of intensive inpatient CBT with ERP were examined 8–10 years after their stay in hospital with regard to obsessive-compulsive symptoms, secondary outcomes, and use of healthcare services. Significant (p < .001) improvements in OC symptoms with medium and large effects compared to baseline on the Yale-Brown-Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and on the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI-R) could still be observed, with 20% of the patients reaching remission status. Continuation of exposure exercises after the inpatient stay was the sole significant factor for improved scores at follow-up. The results suggest that OCD does not necessarily take a chronic course. However, maintenance of exposure training seems to be crucial for sustained improvement.
