(Elsevier Inc., 2011) Uguz F.; Gezginc K.; Yazici F.
Objective: This study examined the prevalence of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder in pregnant women with and without a diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Method: The study sample included 56 pregnant women with a diagnosis of IUGR and 92 control subjects. IUGR was determined by means of ultrasound assessment and was defined as estimated fetal weight, by ultrasound scan, which falls below the 10th percentile for the gestational age. Psychiatric evaluations were performed with depression and anxiety symptom scales and with structured clinical interviews. Results: Pregnant women with IUGR had higher scores of depressive and anxiety symptom scores and had a higher prevalence rate of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, both major depression and generalized anxiety disorder appear to be associated with IUGR in pregnant women. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
