Prevalence of Depression in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to provide a summary estimate of depression prevalence among people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in comparison to those without AS. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, the Cochrane database library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database from their inception to December 2016. The results showed that thirty-one eligible studies involving 8,106 patients were analyzed. Fifteen methods of defining depression were reported. The overall pooled prevalence of depression was 35% (95% CI, 28-43%), with high between-study heterogeneity (I2=98.8%, p<0.001). The relative risk of depression among people with AS was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.21-2.55, eight studies, n=3,006) compared with people without AS. The depression score [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.43, 95% CI: 0.19-0.67, seven studies, n=549] was higher in AS patients than in controls. The main influence on depression prevalence was the sample size and country of origin. In conclusion, one-third of people with AS experience symptoms of depression. Depression was more prevalent in AS patients than in controls. Further research is needed to identify effective strategies for preventing and treating depression among AS patients.

Project description:ObjectivesPrevious studies showed conflicting results regarding peripheral vitamin D levels in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We performed this systemic review and meta-analysis to explore whether vitamin D may influence AS process.MethodsArticles published until March 2022 were searched in databases as follows: PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The present study included cross-sectional and case-control studies regarding vitamin D levels in patients with AS. Studies were excluded according to the following exclusion criteria: (1) we excluded studies which did not provide sufficient information regarding the comparison of vitamin D levels in AS patients and healthy controls (HC). Vitamin D levels in the two group studies should be reported or could be calculated in included studies; (2) meta-analysis, reviews and case reports. STATA 12.0 software was used to make a meta-analysis. Standard mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed as effect size.ResultsThe present meta-analysis showed no significant difference in peripheral 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25OHD) levels between AS and healthy controls (HCs) in Caucasians with a random effects model [SMD: -0.68, 95% CI (-1.90, 0.54)]. Patients with AS had lower peripheral 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels compared with HC with a random effects model [SMD: -0.45, 95% CI: (-0.70, -0.20)]. Patients with AS had higher peripheral C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels compared with HC in Caucasian population with random effects models [CRP: SMD: 1.08, 95% CI: (0.78, 1.37); ESR: SMD: 0.86, 95% CI: (0.39, 1.34)]. However, no significant difference in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) or calcium levels were indicated between AS and HC in Caucasian with random effects models [ALP: SMD: 0.07, 95% CI: (-0.41, 0.55); PTH: SMD: -0.15, 95% CI: (-0.56, 0.26); calcium: SMD: -0.06, 95% CI: (-0.39, 0.26)].ConclusionIn conclusion, the study showed an inverse association between 25OHD and AS, which suggests that vitamin D may have a protective effect on AS. ESR and C-reactive protein (CRP) are important biomarkers for AS.
