With the dramatic growth of the Chinese economy, the number of children/adolescents with being overweight/having obesity is increasing, which has a certain impact on their psychology, such as depression and anxiety symptoms. Our purpose was to conduct a meta-analysis to assess the prevalence and odds ratios of depression and anxiety symptoms among overweight/obese children/adolescents and non-overweight/obese children/adolescents in China. As of July 2018, the three most comprehensive computerized academic databases in China have been systematically screened, namely China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI) databases, Wanfang databases and Vip databases. The same operations are performed in PubMed and Web of Science (SCIE) databases without language restrictions. Case-control studies on prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in overweight/obese children/adolescents in China were analyzed. Study selection and evaluation were performed independently by three authors. Unweighted prevalence, pooled random-effects estimates of odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were all calculated. A total of 11 eligible studies involving 17,894 subjects were included. The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in overweight/obese children/adolescents was significantly higher than that in non-overweight/non-obese children/adolescents (depression: 21.73% vs. 17.96%, OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.87, p = 0.003; anxiety: 39.80% vs. 13.99%, OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.79, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses conducted according to scale types showed that scale types have certain significance to evaluate the relationship between depression symptoms and overweight/obesity. The OR of depression symptoms between overweight/obese children/adolescents and non-overweight/non-obese children/adolescents was greatest on the Middle School Student Mental Health Scale (MSSMHS) was 2.06 (95% CI: 1.41, 3.02, I2 = 0.00%), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.84, 1.25, I2 = 0.00%), and Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was 1.21 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.42, I2 = 0.00%). We concluded that the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in overweight/obese children/adolescents in China is higher than that in the non-overweight/obese children/adolescents. The results of the study indicate that the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among overweight/obese children/adolescents in Chinese medical institutions should receive more attention. Physical exercise and psychological interventions should be strengthened to prevent psychological problems. However, because of some clear limitations (no clinical interview and few studies), these results should be interpreted with caution.

Despite the prevalence of postpartum depression and anxiety, current screening recommendations are limited to depression symptoms. Screening using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale–Anxiety subscale (EPDS-A) may enhance ability to detect distress in postpartum women. We aimed to replicate the EPDS-A in 200 mothers with infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and examine its incremental utility in identifying emotional distress. Presence of the EPDS-A was identified using exploratory factor analysis. Women experiencing elevated anxiety were identified using a previously established cutoff score. Results replicated the EPDS-A for the first time in mothers with infants hospitalized in the NICU. In all, 21.9% of these women had elevated anxiety symptoms and nearly one quarter of them would have been missed in routine depression screening. Use of the EPDS-A, in addition to the total EPDS score, is a promising approach to identifying anxious women in need of further evaluation, treatment, or support.

e24125 Background: Project PRIORITY, a collaborative research study between The EGFR Resisters and the LUNGevity Foundation, found that 29% of United States respondents had clinical depression. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) prolong lives, the impact of an oncogene driven lung cancer diagnosis on emotional well-being is not well studied nor are resource utilization and potential contributing factors to psychosocial distress. Methods: Our primary objective was to study cancer related distress in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed oncogene driver lung cancer. The secondary objective was to correlate distress with neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and body mass index loss (BMI) as a surrogate for cancer cachexia/precachexia to gauge the relationship to psychosocial distress. We retrospectively reviewed pts treated with TKI between 1/1/2008 and 2/1/2021. Sample size was based on estimates of depression in this population. A diagnosis of depression or anxiety was defined by documentation in the visit problem list, and active symptoms were based on progress note documentation. Depression and anxiety were recorded at 6 time points from diagnosis to progression on TKI, and their associations with treatment toxicities, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Association with serial BMI and NLR were assessed using longitudinal statistical models. Results: We studied 78 pts: 71.8% female, 62.8% Caucasian, 15.4% African American, 15.6% Hispanic/LatinX, and 11.5% Asian. 94.9% had an EGFR mutation, and 5.1% had an ALK mutation. Prevalence of depression at diagnosis and progression was 11.5% and 25%, with anxiety prevalence 28.2% and 40.6%, respectively. Of these pts, 22.2% had active depression symptoms and 54.5% had active anxiety symptoms at diagnosis, although symptoms were not addressed in 33.3% and 22.7%, respectively. At progression, 68.8% had active depression symptoms and 46.2% had active anxiety symptoms, but symptoms were not addressed in 6.3% and 26.9%, respectively. At diagnosis and progression, 24.4% and 35.9%, respectively, were on treatment for anxiety and/or depression. Social work and psychology evaluated 12.8% and 10.3% of all pts at diagnosis and 10.9% and 17.2% at progression. NLR > 3.5 and > 5 were not associated with depression or anxiety. A more rapid longitudinal decrease in BMI was associated with depression. Grade ≥3 toxicities were not associated with depression or anxiety. Shorter PFS and OS were associated with higher rates of depression, but not anxiety. Conclusions: In this retrospective study of an ethnically diverse patient group at an academic medical center, we found a prevalence of depression and anxiety consistent with the Project PRIORITY findings. We saw an association between depression and more rapid weight loss but did not see correlation with NLR. Prospective evaluation with accurate documentation is needed to better address these questions in future studies.

The prevalence of depression and anxiety in the Chinese male population with infertility is still uncertain. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and a combination of both psychological symptoms was 20.8%, 7.8%, and 15.4%, respectively in 771 infertile Chinese men in the current study by the Mental Health Inventory–5 and the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory–Short Form questionnaires. Differences in demographics (age, education, and income) had no noticeable impact on the development of psychological symptoms. Clinical factors such as concomitant disorders (varicocele, epididymal cyst, and erectile dysfunction) were identified as risk factors associated with depressive symptoms ( OR = 1.47; 95% CI [1.14, 1.90]; p < .001) and both depressive and anxiety symptoms ( OR = 1.56; 95% CI [1.17, 2.08]; p < .001). An infertility duration over 2 years was associated with a high risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR = 3.94; 95% CI [1.20, 12.93], p < .02). Other clinical conditions such as type of treatment and quality of sperm were not significant risk factors for psychological symptoms. This study provides evidence that Chinese men of reproductive age who suffer from infertility are vulnerable to psychological distress.
