Abstract

Objective: We planned to estimate the epidemiological data on mental disorders in patients with ovarian cancer. Method: We searched PubMed, Embase, Elsevier ScienceDirect, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and Duxiu Academic Search Platform to determine observational studies on depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in patients with ovarian cancer published before December 31st, 2023, and estimated the prevalence of mental disorder in patients with ovarian cancer worldwide and estimated the combined prevalence of different regions, countries, research periods, and assessment scales. Results: This research included 31 studies involving 8,315 patients with ovarian cancer. The prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with ovarian cancer was 35% (95% CI: 25%-45%) and 37% (95% CI: 27%-48%), respectively. The suicidal ideation of patients with ovarian cancer was 32% (95% CI: 28%-35%) in China. Patients with ovarian cancer in Asia had the highest prevalence of depression, while those in Oceania had the lowest. The prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with ovarian cancer increased significantly after 2000 worldwide and gradually stabilized. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was significantly higher with the use of self-report tools than with diagnostic tools. Conclusion: These findings estimated the prevalence of comorbid mental disorders in patients with ovarian cancer, increasing the awareness of doctors and patients about the ovarian cancer-related mental problems.
