Objective:To explore the influence of anxiety on the quality of life and its associated factors in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:PCOS patients were enrolled in this cross sectional study in Reproductive Endocrinology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from May 2019 to January 2022. Anxiety and quality of life were scored for patients diagnosed with PCOS. All patients were divided into PCOS with or without anxiety group. The associated factors of PCOS complicated with anxiety were screened from clinical features, endocrine, ovarian reserve function and metabolic status by logistic analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC).Results:Totally 125 PCOS patients were enrolled, of whom 44 were complicated with anxiety. The scores for the quality of life in patients with PCOS and anxiety related to obesity (12.7±1.4 vs. 18.8±0.9, P<0.001), abnormal menstruation (17.9±0.9 vs. 23.2±0.6, P<0.001) and PCOS itself (28.3±1.6 vs. 35.0±0.9, P<0.001) were all lower than those in PCOS patients without anxiety. The body mass index (BMI) [(25.74±0.97) kg/m 2vs. (23.46±0.45) kg/m 2, P=0.038] and area of insulin under the curve (IAUC) [(2 844.28±303.61) pmol/L vs. (1 834.28±147.89) pmol/L, P=0.001] of PCOS patients with anxiety were all higher, while sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels [(33.29±6.21) nmol/L vs. (41.94±4.11) nmol/L, P=0.045] were lower than those without anxiety, and the differences were all statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis screened out the most relevant factor with anxiety in PCOS as IAUC ( OR=1.001, 95% Cl=1.000-1.001, P=0.021) and BMI ( OR=1.113, 95% CI=1.016-1.219, P=0.003). ROC analysis showed that IAUC was an associated factor for PCOS complicated with anxiety, and the area under the ROC curve were 0.701 ( P=0.020). Conclusion:The prevalence of anxiety in PCOS patients is higher than that in the general population. The quality of life is lower in PCOS patients with anxiety than those without. Anxiety may be closely related to weight gain and hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance in PCOS patients.

Objective To explore the high risk factors of stillbirth. Methods 176 cases of stillbirth were collected in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2016. All cases were analyzed retrospectively, including general profile, high risk factors of stillbirth in different years and pregnancy periods. Results (1) The incidence of stillbirth was 0.178%(176/98 785). Stillbirth occured mostly at 28-28+6gestational weeks (10.8%,19/176), and the second peak was 29-29+6weeks(10.2%,18/176),while the third common period was 37-37+6weeks(9.1%,16/176).After 39 weeks,it maintained at a low level.(2)The top 5 high risk factors of stillbirth were infection (18.2%,32/176), unexplained (13.6%,24/176), hypertention disorders in pregnancy (13.1%, 23/176), umbilical cord torsion(12.5%,22/176)and fetal malformations(10.2%,18/176).(3)From 2010 to 2012,the top 3 high risk factors were unexplained, the umbilical cord torsion and infection, while hypertention in pregnancy,infection and fetal malformation became the top 3 high risk factors after 2013.(4)Early stillbirth (20-27+6weeks)accounted for 21.6%(38/176);and unexplained(47.4%,18/38),fetal edema(13.2%,5/38), infection(13.2%,5/38),umbilical cord torsion(5.3%,2/38)were the top 4 high risk factors.Late stillbirth(≥28 weeks)accounted for 78.4%(138/176),with infection(19.6%,27/138),hypertention in pregnancy(15.9%, 22/138), umbilical cord torsion (14.5%,20/138) and fetal malformation(12.3%,17/138)being the top 4 high risk factors. Conclusions More attention should be paid to maternal complications, especially infection and hypertension in pregnancy. Antenatal fetal monitoring, timely termination of pregnancy, standard management of stillbirth and looking for the causes may help reduce the incidence of stillbirth.
