Eighty depressed patients (40 bipolar and 40 unipolar) were personally interviewed in order to assess the relationship of disturbed sleep with psychiatric family history. Complaints of unsatisfactory sleep quantity and/or quality were more common among patients with a negative than among those with a positive family history for either any major psychiatric disorder (74.5 vs. 43.3%, p < 0.01) or only a mood disorder (68.4 vs. 43.5%, p < 0.05); this was more pronounced in bipolar patients. Results were confirmed when demographic variables and clinical characteristics of the disease were taken into consideration through the use of multiple logistic regression analysis. It is, thus, suggested that the mechanisms underlying disturbed sleep during a major depressive episode are different to those associated with the familial predisposition for depression.

D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
