Prevalence of depression in breast cancer survivors: a systematic review of observational studies
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Depression is common in breast cancer patients. The aim of this paper was to make a systematic review of its prevalence and associated factors oin breast cancer survivors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An extensive systematic electronic review (PUBMED, CINAHL, PsyINFO and Ovid) and handsearch were carried out to retrieve published articles up to November 2012, using Depression OR Dysthymia AND (Cancer OR Tumor OR Neoplasms as the keywords. Information about the design of the studies, measuring scale, characteristics of the participants, prevalence of depression and its associated factors from the included studies were extracted and summarized. RESULTS: We identified 32 eligible studies that recruited 10,826 breast cancer survivors. Most were cross-sectional or prospective designed. The most frequent instrument used to screen depression was the Center for Epidemiological Studies for Depression (CES-D, n=11 studies) followed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, n=6 studies) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, n=6 studies). CES-D returned about similar prevalence of depression (median=22%, range=13-56%) with BDI (median=22%, range=17-48%) but higher than HADS (median=10%, range=1-22%). Depression was associated with several socio-demographic variables, cancer-related factors, treatment-related factors, subject psychological factors, lifestyle factors, social support and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: Breast cancer survivors are at risk for depression so that detection of associated factors is important in clinical practice.

The prevalence of depression and anxiety in breast cancer survivors varies from 6% to 56% and 17.9% to 33.3%, respectively.
“Recent reviews by Zainal et al. (2013) and Maass et al. (2015) determined that the prevalence of depression and anxiety in breast cancer survivors varies from 6% to 56% and 17,9% to 33,3%, respectively.”

The “Prevalence of depression” section reports a range of 1%–56% in breast cancer survivors, not 6%–56%; the Discussion repeats 1%–56%. The anxiety range is attributed to Maass et al. in the citing sentence, so it is not assessed against Zainal et al. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCompared to the general female population, the prevalence of depression in breast cancer survivors is higher and persistent over >5 years after diagnosis, while the prevalence of anxiety is equivalent to the general female population.
“When compared to the general female population, the prevalence of depression was found to be higher and persistent over >5 years after diagnosis, while the prevalence of anxiety was considered equivalent to results exhibited by the general female population.”
From A guided internet-delivered individually-tailored ACT-influenced cognitive behavioural intervention to improve psychosocial outcomes in breast cancer survivors (iNNOVBC): Study protocol (2019) · cites this paper as Zainal et al., 2013
The 'Prevalence of depression' section reports depression among breast cancer survivors, and the Results table includes measurements through 60 months after diagnosis. Neither establishes that depression remains higher than in the general female population beyond five years; the paper also does not report that anxiety prevalence is equivalent to that population.

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.
