Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-regression were conducted to compare depression risks in women with breast cancer after undergoing mastectomy versus breast reconstruction (BR) one year post-surgery.
- The analysis included nine studies from 2000 to 2019, revealing a 22.2% depression risk for mastectomy and a 15.7% risk for BR.
- Findings suggest that mastectomy is associated with higher depression risk (risk ratio 1.36), and utilizing sensitive depression assessment tools like the Beck Depression Inventory could help in developing strategies to address and prevent depression in these patients.
