However, their prevalence in pancreatitis, both in its acute (AP) and chronic (CP) forms, remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the burden of depressive and anxiety symptoms among patients with pancreatitis.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We conducted a systematic search (PROSPERO: CRD42023481739) across three databases: MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL, to identify studies reporting on the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with AP or CP, as of November 10, 2023. The random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled proportion rate and pooled means of different anxiety/depression scores, along with 95 % confidence intervals (CI).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In total, 44 studies were included. Anxiety was observed in 23 % (CI: 7 %–54 %) of the AP cases, and it was observed in 31 % (CI: 23 %–39 %) of the <u>CP</u> cases. Depressive symptoms were observed in 29 % (CI: 14 %–51 %) of the AP patients, while in CP cases, the prevalence was 39 % (CI: 30 %–48 %). The pooled single-mean analysis of psychological questionnaire data confirms clinically significant levels of both depressive and anxiety symptoms. Mean scores exceeded established cut-off points across all measures: CESD-10 (14.30 [CI: 6.69–21.92]), HADS-depression (8.23 [CI: 4.53–11.94]), SES (49.29 [CI: 44.01–54.57]), HADS-anxiety (8.67 [CI: 6.89–10.46]), and SAS (47.75 [CI: 35.05–60.45]). These findings indicate that many participants experienced symptom levels beyond the normative range. Overall, a low risk of bias was observed; however, several studies were identified as high risk due to reporting limitations.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Our findings reveal a notably high prevalence of depression and anxiety in pancreatitis, exceeding global averages and rates seen in other GI disorders. These findings warrant routine psychological screening, ongoing follow-up, and the integration of mental health professionals into multidisciplinary care teams are therefore warranted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19976,"journal":{"name":"Pancreatology","volume":"26 2","pages":"Pages 221-230"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146137719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
