Recurrent pregnancy loss linked to anxiety, depression in men and women
Researchers have found in a new study that Recurrent pregnancy loss was linked to anxiety, depression in men and women.
The findings of the new study have been published in the Life (Basel).
The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on depression, stress and anxiety in women who experienced recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) compared to controls and to men who experienced RPL. The pooled results showed a higher level of moderate/severe depression among women who experienced Recurrent pregnancy loss compared to controls (5359 women, random effects model, odds ratio (OR) 3.77, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 2.71-5.23, p < 0.00001, I2 0%). Anxiety and stress levels were also higher among women experiencing RPL compared to controls. The pooled results showed a higher level of moderate/severe depression in women who experienced Recurrent pregnancy loss compared to men who underwent the same experience (113/577 (19.5%) women versus 33/446 (7%) men versus random effects model, OR 4.63; 95% CI 2.95-7.25, p < 0.00001 I2 0%). Similarly, higher levels of stress and anxiety in women experiencing Recurrent pregnancy loss compared to men experiencing Recurrent pregnancy loss were described. Women who experienced Recurrent pregnancy loss showed higher rates of moderate-severe depression, stress and anxiety compared to both controls and men who experienced Recurrent pregnancy loss. Healthcare professionals should implement screening for anxiety and depression and social support for both partners and support them in dealing with Recurrent pregnancy loss according to sex-specific responses to this stressful event.
