Key result
Higher depression severity was significantly associated with an increased prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease, with a 10% increased risk per 1-point increase in depression score (OR 1.10).
Why the study?
Depression in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease has received increasing attention, but the relationship between depression severity and risk factors for the condition remains to be investigated.

Does depression severity increase the prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease in US females?
Odds Ratio: 1.1 (95% CI 1.08–1.12)
p-value: p=<0.0001
Depression severity is positively associated with the prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease in US females, suggesting that depression should be actively assessed and managed in patients with PID.
Huang et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Pelvic inflammatory disease (n=5,432). Depression severity vs. No depression / Lower depression scores was evaluated on Prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12, p=<0.0001). Higher depression severity was significantly associated with an increased prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease, with a 10% increased risk per 1-point increase in depression score (OR 1.10).
