Results: The PCOS group showed significantly higher scores of anxiety and depression symptoms compared to controls (p<,05). Age, education, marital status and income level were significantly associated with anxiety and depression scores of women with PCOS (p<,05). Conclusion: Women with PCOS are at risk for anxiety and depression.

Objective: To present the demographic profile, etiology and treatment outcome of patients presenting with epistaxis in our local setting. Methods:           Design: Retrospective Study           Setting: Tertiary Private University Hospital           Participants: Records of 188 patients who presented with epistaxis at the emergency room as well as in-patient admissions and referrals due to epistaxis from January 2017 to December 2017 were reviewed. Results:  There were a total of 188 patients who presented with epistaxis, with a male to female ratio of 2:1. Peak incidence was noted in young children aged 0-10 years old and again rising in adults above 60 years of age. The most common cause of epistaxis was noted to be trauma (56, 29.79%), followed by hypertension (41, 21.81%) and mucositis at (38, 20.21%). Conservative management were done in majority of the cases (187, 99.47%) with an overall success rate of 95.19% (178 out of 188). Conclusions: One of the most common emergencies that people may encounter in their lifetime is epistaxis. Understanding the demographic profile, etiology, intervention and treatment outcome of patients with epistaxis is essential for the establishment of cost-effective treatment guidelines, protocols and preventive strategies. Health education remains to be a key in reducing morbidity and mortality resulting from epistaxis. Keywords: epistaxis; etiology, demographics, treatment, treatment outcome

e11098 Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Mexico. It is mostly diagnosed at advanced stages. Objective: To describe the experience of image-guided biopsies of non-palpable breast tumors in a University Hospital in Mexico City. Methods: Medical records from the Radiology and Oncology Department (January 2007 - April 2011) were reviewed. Patients with incomplete medical records as well as those lacking imaging control and pathology report were excluded. Results: A total of 123 medical records were obtained,12 were excluded. The median age was 50 years (rank 21-88). Most patients were asymptomatic. Medical indications leading to biopsy: see table below. Of the studied population, 56% had a family history of any type of cancer; 40% had a family history of breast cancer. Nine patients had a past medical history positive for breast cancer, 8 patients had a past medical history of any type of cancer. 26 patients were nulligravid and 60 post-menopausal; of which 27 had received hormone replacement therapy. 24 patients had positive contraceptive use. Most patients were catalogued as BIRADs 4A. From all the imaged-marked lesions, only 18 were malignant; 72% of which were carcinoma in situ. Most procedures were ambulatory; only 15 patients had to be admitted. The complications rate was very low (6%), 1 procedure-related infection, 3 seromas and 3 hematomas. Conclusions: Imaging-guided biopsies are a safe, with very low morbidity, accessible procedure. It helps to prompt effective treatment; especially in patients with non-palpable lesions who would otherwise not be diagnosed until advanced stages. [Table: see text]
