Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess self-reported depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and those with the rare Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKHS), compared with healthy adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The participants were 49 adolescent girls, of whom 27 were patients with confirmed menstrual disorder, 22 with PCOS and 5 with MRKHS; and 22 were healthy eumenorrheic adolescents (control group) matched by age and school grade. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Gr) were used to measure depression and anxiety, respectively. RESULTS: The results showed that it was 1.08 times more likely for the PCOS group (p = 0.043) and 1.12 times more likely for the MRKHS group (p = 0.039) to have higher scores than healthy adolescents on the anxiety scale. The MRKHS group was 1.40 times more likely to have a higher number of depressive symptoms (p = 0.040) than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: These findings, although based on a small sample, suggest a relationship between PCOS and MRKHS and the presence of psychological problems, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents. This study is among the first to examine psychological difficulties in adolescents with such a rare menstrual syndrome as MRKHS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
