| description | This study was conducted between March 2020 and February 2021 to analyze anxiety and depression symptoms in 64 women with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) and 99 women who had miscarried. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was applied by telephone three months after pregnancy loss. Multivariate analysis was performed using hierarchical logistic regression to evaluate associations between variables. Probable anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8) and depression (HADS-D ≥ 8) were found in 53.1% and 43.8% of the GTD group and 49.5% and 39.4% of the miscarriage group, with no difference between the groups. Severe symptoms of anxiety (HADS-A 15-21) and depression (HADS-D 15-21) were found, respectively, in 12.5% and 4.7% of the GTD group and in 9.1% and 4.0% of the miscarriage group, also with no difference between the groups. Lack of partner support proved a risk factor for anxiety and depression, while poor education increased the risk of depression symptoms 3.43-fold following pregnancy loss. In conclusion, three months after pregnancy loss the frequency of anxiety and depression symptoms was similarly high in both groups, with poor education and lack of partner support being significant risk factors for the subsequent development of psychiatric morbidity. |
