RESUMEN
Objective To study the correlations of anxiety and depression at different phases with curative outcomes in female patients at IVF-ET cycle.Methods One hundred and seventeen patients were involved the study using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression(SDS)questionnaires when registered for IVF-ET cycle(T1), one day prior to oocyte retrieval(T2), and 5 to 7 days after embryo transfer(T3).SDS scores and SAS scores were compared between different phases.Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation of SAS scores with outcome.Results SDS scores of T1, T2 and T3 phases showed no significant differences(all P<0.05).The SAS scores at T2 and T3 were higher than that at T1(all P<0.05), the SAS scores at T2 were higher than that at T3(P<0.05).The SAS scores at T2 in patients achieved clinical pregnancy were significantly lower than that in patients achieved no clinical pregnancy.Logistic regression model showed that lower SAS scores were associated with higher pregnancy rates (P<0.05).Conclusions Anxiety level is the most remarkable one in the phase prior to oocyte retrieval.Low anxiety level prior to oocyte retrieval predicts higher a pregnancy rate.
