چکیده
Overall, 16% (51/329) of patients met the HADS criteria for anxiety and 6% (20/329) for depression. Analyses indicated that higher anxiety scores were significantly associated with younger age ( P < 0.01) and a longer interval since diagnosis ( P < 0.01), but not with management by active surveillance ( P = 0.38). Higher depression scores were significantly associated with a longer interval since diagnosis ( P < 0.05), but not with management by active surveillance ( P = 0.83).
