Symptom resolution after hysterectomy and alternative treatments for chronic pelvic pain: does depression make a difference? - 19/08/11
Résumé |
Objective |
The purpose of this study was to determine whether depression influences treatment outcomes and to identify predictors of symptom resolution among women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP).
Study Design |
Analysis of 701 women with CPP in the Study of Pelvic Problems, Hysterectomy and Intervention Alternatives prospective cohort study, which included 153 women (22%) with depression. We conducted multivariable analyses to evaluate the influence of depression on pre-/posttreatment differences in symptoms and health-related quality of life and to identify other predictors of symptom improvement.
Results |
CPP treatments included hysterectomy (9%), other surgical treatments (9%), hormonal medications (50%), narcotic analgesics (47%), physical therapy (12%), and nonprescription medications (93%). Depression predicted lower gains in health perception (P < .05) but not in symptom resolution, sexual functioning, or other aspects of health-related quality of life. Symptom resolution was predicted by hysterectomy (P < .001), entering menopause (P < .001), and pretreatment satisfaction with sex (P = .039).
Conclusion |
Depression does not influence substantially treatment-related gains in CPP symptom resolution and health-related quality of life. Coexisting depression should not delay treatment for CPP.
