Development of depression in patients using androgen deprivation therapy : A systemic review and meta-analysis

© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

BACKGROUND: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Multiple studies have highlighted serious consequences this therapy poses to mental health, particularly depression. We aimed to review the incidence and association between ADT in men with PCa and the risk of depression.

METHODS: We systematically searched multiple databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus till August 2023 for studies that compared ADT versus control for treating PCa reporting depression as outcome. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models and results presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Quality assessment of the included studies was conducted using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklists.

RESULTS: A total of 38 studies (17 retrospective studies, 16 prospective studies, two cross-sectional studies and two randomized trials) with 360,650 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The estimated pooled incidence of depression among ADT patients is 209.5 (95% CI = 122.3; 312.2) per 1000 patients. There is statistically significant relationship between ADT treatment and depression (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.28, 1.67; p = 0, I2 = 86.4%). The results remained consistent across various subgroups. No risk of publication bias was detected by funnel plot and Eggers's test (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION: There is a higher risk of depression for men receiving ADT. Further studies evaluating optimal treatments for depression in men on ADT are warranted.
