PURPOSE This study examined the prevalence of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in pregnant women with and without a diagnosis of oligohydramnios. DESIGN AND METHODS The study sample included 53 pregnant women with a diagnosis of oligohydramnios and 80 healthy pregnant women subjects. Major depression and GAD were diagnosed with the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (SCID-I). FINDINGS Pregnant women with oligohydramnios had higher scores of depressive and anxiety symptom, and a higher prevalence rate of major depression (24.5% vs. 6.2%) and GAD (30.2% vs. 3.2%). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The results of the present study suggest that oligohydramnios appears to be associated with both major depression and GAD in pregnant women.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and related factors of mood and anxiety disorders in postmenopausal women attending a gynecological outpatient clinic. METHODS: The study sample included 269 postmenopausal women. The Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition was performed to determine the disorders. RESULTS: Ninety-two (34.2%) women had at least one mood or anxiety disorder. The most common specific disorder was generalized anxiety disorder (15.6%). The existence of any mood or anxiety disorder was associated with poorer economic level. CONCLUSIONS: Mood and anxiety disorders were frequently observed in postmenopausal women who were admitted to a gynecology outpatient clinic.

PURPOSE. To examine the incidence, clinical profile, and predictors of delirium following acute myocardial infarction (MI). DESIGN AND METHODS. The study sample included 212 consecutive patients with acute MI who were admitted to the coronary intensive care unit of a university hospital. FINDINGS. Delirium was found to occur in 5.7% of the patients. The predictors of delirium were advanced age, higher level of serum potassium at admission, and experience of cardiac arrest during MI. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Delirium is reasonably prevalent in patients with acute MI. We propose that patients with the risk factors that have been delineated in this study should be evaluated carefully.
