“…In line with our findings, Augustin et al did not find evidence for anxiety disorder in patients with age-related macular degeneration [31]. Moreover, Onal et al found that 52.5% patients with uveitis screened for symptoms of anxiety were younger (Mean age: 31.5 vs. 40 years, p = 0.009) and had earlier onset of uveitis (Mean age: 26 vs. 35 years, p = 0.015) [17]. Since the mean age of the patients in this study was approximately 62 years, age might contribute to the missing significance of symptoms of anxiety in the disease group.…”

The impact of impending / onset of vision loss on depression, anxiety, and vision-related quality of life in Birdshot-Retinochoroiditis and Serpiginous Choroiditis

et al. 2020

To evaluate the impact of Birdshot-Retinochoroidopathy (BSRC) and Serpiginous Choroiditis (SC) on depression, anxiety, and vision-related quality of life. 72 individuals (BSRC: n = 28, SC: n = 8; healthy control group (HC): n = 36) completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25). Multivariate linear regression models were used to analyze different subscales of the PHQ-9, the GAD-7 and the VFQ-25. The results showed that the mean of PHQ-9 was significantly higher while the mean of the VFQ-25 and its´subscales were consistently lower in the disease group compared to HC. The mean of GAD-7 was not significantly lower in the disease group compared to HC. Stratification for different disease severity stages and duration of disease did not reveal any differences in sum scores of PHQ-9, GAD-7, and VFQ-25, whereas there were significant differences in some subscales of the VFQ-25. We conclude that BSRC and SC patients show higher levels of depression and a reduced visual quality of life due to imminent loss of vision. Because depression and quality of life are adversely affected by lack of social contacts and functioning, psychological treatment should enable patients to maintain their independence and ability to social interaction. Psychosomatic care should be taken in account for the treatment of BSRC and SC.

“…Depression and anxiety have been determined as significant comorbidities among patients with severe ocular conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa [14][15][16]. But there have been only limited reports on screening for psychological alterations in patients with uveitis [17][18][19][20].…”

“…The MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) has been used world-wide as a generic and coherent measure to assess HRQoL in patients and residents [8][9][10]. More than 40 translated versions have been applied around the world [11] and it is the standard for international quality of life assessment.…”

Background: The objectives of this study were to investigate the HRQoL of residents living in central urban areas (CUA) and developing neighborhoods (DN) areas of North-China and to examine the relationship between health conditions and the physical and mental components of quality of life. Methods: A stratified random sample was taken and health survey scoring system questionnaire SF-36 was used to conduct the HRQoL survey among community residents in the two selected districts in 10 cities. A general questionnaire was also administered with questions that collected general information, population demographic characteristics and health behaviours, social relationships and perception of life satisfaction. Results: Five thousand eight hundred eighty-one questionnaires were returned from 6059 invitations with a effective response rate of 97%. The residents in DN had a higher score of physical function, role limitation due to physical problems and vitality than those living in CUA. The prevalence of several chronic diseases was lower in DN's residents than CUA's residents. Age, presence/absence of chronic diseases, leisure time exercise, regular daily routine, sleep quality, appetite, family and social relationships and life satisfaction were significant determinants of HRQoL. Conclusions: Residents living in newly developed neighborhoods in China while keeping some habits and lifestyles of their original rural communities are healthier in terms of chronic diseases and HRQoL. Together with other risk factors chronic diseases are an important determinant on HRQoL. Several healthy habits and behaviors such as having a regular daily routine and exercising during leisure time improved HRQoL in Chinese urban communities. Targeted policies of public health based on these findings can better the health-related quality of life.

“…Various studies have reported on the quality of life aspects tied to the difficulties of performing daily tasks and social functioning associated with RP. [11][12][13] Another important component included in quality of life is mental health, because a diagnosis such as anxiety or depression has been shown to have negative implications. 14,15 Higher levels of anxiety and depression have shown to be associated with various ocular pathologies.…”

“…Glaucoma, for example, was found to have a dramatic increase for comorbid anxiety and depression. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In a Japanese study comparing glaucoma and RP, patients with RP were found to have a higher prevalence of depression. 16 The higher prevalence compared with patients with glaucoma, for whom reported odds ratios (ORs) were as high as 10.6 for anxiety and 12.3 for depression vs those without glaucoma, shows the importance of investigating the relationship for patients with RP.…”

Purpose: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a chronic progressive disease with no curative treatments. Understanding the variables involved with improving patients’ quality of life is important in managing this population. The literature investigating the relationship of anxiety and depression with RP relies on the analysis of smaller subset populations of patients with RP, and no study has quantified the effect size of the potential association. This study aims to elucidate and quantify the association between RP, anxiety, and depression. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted of 6 093 833 medical records within the University of North Carolina Hospital and outpatient clinic system from July 1, 2004, to August 30, 2019. Patients with a diagnosis of RP, anxiety, and depression were identified within the Carolina Data Warehouse for Health by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision codes. Results: From the base population of 6 093 833 patients' medical records, 690 patients were diagnosed with RP, 253 065 with anxiety, and 232 541 with depression. Patients with RP have an odds ratio, adjusted for sex and age, of 4.915 (95% CI, 4.035-5.987) for having comorbid anxiety, 5.609 (95% CI, 4.622-6.807) for comorbid depression, and 4.130 (95% CI, 3.187-5.353) for comorbid anxiety and depression. Conclusions: Patients with RP have a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression, with increased odds of approximately 5 to 6 times for also carrying a diagnosis of anxiety or depression and about 4 times for carrying diagnoses of anxiety and depression compared with the general population.

Screening for Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Active Uveitis

Abstract: A positive screening test for depression and anxiety is common in patients with uveitis. Low vision and panuveitis are associated with depression. Depression is associated with impairment of VR-QOL and HR-QOL.
