Abstract
Anxiety and depression occur in a significant number of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The prevalence of anxiety and / or depression is 13-44.4% in patients with IBD compared to 4.4% among the world population. To identify the frequency of anxiety and depression in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases in the Moscow Clinical Scientific Center named after A. S. Loginov. A questionnaire was conducted on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire for 370 patients with moderate to severe UC during the period of exacerbation of the disease. Of the 370 patients with UC, 283 (76.48%) had clinical and subclinical signs of anxiety and depression. Subclinical depression was noted in 76 (26.8%), clinically pronounced depression - 11 (3.4%), signs of anxiety had higher indicators-subclinical anxiety was found in 172 (60.8%) of the surveyed patients, pronounced clinical anxiety - in 24 (8.4%) patients with UC. Statistically significant correlations of average strength between the indicators of adherence according to the Morisky - Green questionnaire with scores on the HADS scale, both for anxiety and depression (p < 0.001, r - 0.6299) were revealed Among patients with anxiety and depression, the ratio of patients with high adherence to therapy (HAT) and low adherence to therapy (LAT) was 204 (55,1%) 79 (21,4%), accordingly. When comparing the degree of adherence depending on the presence of anxiety and depression, we found that HAT was associated with anxiety and depression in patients with UC (OR = 0.024; 95% CI 0.003-0.186; p < 0.001). The prevalence of anxiety and/or depression is 77% in patients with IBD during an exacerbation in the Moscow Clinical Scientific Center named after A. S. Loginov.
