Mental health conditions diagnosed before bilateral oophorectomy: a population-based case-control study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:We studied eight mental health conditions diagnosed before bilateral oophorectomy performed for nonmalignant indications. METHODS:We identified 1,653 premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy for a nonmalignant indication in Olmsted County, Minnesota, during a 20-year period (1988-2007).

Both cases and controls were identified using the records-linkage system of the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP http://www.rochesterproject.org).
