Association of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder with receipt of minimally invasive hysterectomy for uterine fibroids: findings from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Researchers sought to examine whether depression and PTSD are associated with minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH). Studying veterans with uterine fibroids undergoing hysterectomy in the Department of Veterans Affairs between 2012 and 2014, they found that veterans with depression or PTSD were more likely that those without to have a MIH, possibly owing to smaller uterine size, suggesting that they may be undergoing hysterectomy earlier in the disease process. They recommended further research to understand whether this reflects high-quality, patient-centered care.
