RESUMO
Prenatal maternal stressors ranging in severity from everyday occurrences/hassles to the experience of traumatic events negatively impact neurodevelopment, increasing the risk for the onset of psychopathology in the offspring. Notably, the timing of prenatal stress exposure plays a critical role in determining the nature and severity of subsequent neurodevelopmental outcomes. In this review, we evaluate the empirical evidence regarding temporal windows of heightened vulnerability to prenatal stress with respect to motor, cognitive, language, and behavioural development in both human and animal studies. We also explore potential temporal windows whereby several mechanisms may mediate prenatal stress-induced neurodevelopmental effects, namely, excessive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, altered serotonin signalling and sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system, changes in placental function, immune system dysregulation, and alterations of the gut microbiota. While broadly defined developmental windows are apparent for specific psychopathological outcomes, inconsistencies arise when more complex cognitive and behavioural outcomes are considered. Novel approaches to track molecular markers reflective of the underlying aetiologies throughout gestation to identify tractable biomolecular signatures corresponding to critical vulnerability periods are urgently required.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the associations between pregnancy and birth complications and long-term (>12 months) maternal mental health outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To review the published literature on pregnancy and birth complications and long-term maternal mental health outcomes. SEARCH STRATEGY: Systematic search of Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), PsycInfo®, PubMed® and Web of Science from inception until August 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA: Three reviewers independently reviewed titles, abstracts and full texts. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers independently extracted data and appraised study quality. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to calculate pooled estimates. The Meta-analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed. The protocol was prospectively registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO: CRD42022359017). MAIN RESULTS: Of the 16 310 articles identified, 33 studies were included (3 973 631 participants). Termination of pregnancy was associated with depression (pooled adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.49, 95% CI 1.20-1.83) and anxiety disorder (pooled aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.20-1.71). Miscarriage was associated with depression (pooled aOR 1.97, 95% CI 1.38-2.82) and anxiety disorder (pooled aOR 1.24, 95% CI 1.11-1.39). Sensitivity analyses excluding early pregnancy loss and termination reported similar results. Preterm birth was associated with depression (pooled aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.32-1.42), anxiety disorder (pooled aOR 0.97, 95% CI 0.41-2.27) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (pooled aOR 1.75, 95% CI 0.52-5.89). Caesarean section was not significantly associated with PTSD (pooled aOR 2.51, 95% CI 0.75-8.37). There were few studies on other mental disorders and therefore it was not possible to perform meta-analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to complications during pregnancy and birth increases the odds of long-term depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Childhood and adolescent obesity are major, preventable public health concerns. Studies to date are inconclusive regarding an association between caesarean section (CS) delivery and offspring obesity, with fewer studies conducted in late adolescence. This study examined the association between CS delivery, with a specific focus on planned CS, and induction of labour and adolescent body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%) at age 17 years. METHODS: Data on 8,880 mother-child pairs from the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study were analysed. The exposures were mode of delivery (normal vaginal delivery (VD) (reference), assisted VD, planned CS and emergency CS) and mode of delivery by induction of labour status. Crude and adjusted binary logistic regression and linear regression models were fitted examining BMI and BF% at age 17 years respectively, adjusting for several potential confounders. RESULTS: Adolescents born by CS did not have an elevated BMI or BF% compared to those born by normal VD. The fully adjusted results for overweight and obesity in children born by planned CS, compared to VD, were 1.05 (95% CI: 0.86-1.28) and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.72-1.23), respectively. The results were similar for the associations between CS and BF%, and between induction of labour and BMI. CONCLUSION: Overall, this large longitudinal study did not support an association between CS or induction of labour and overweight, obesity or BF%. It is possible that previously reported associations are due to residual or unmeasured confounding and/or underlying indications for CS delivery.

BACKGROUND: Poverty is associated with poor outcomes, yet exposure to distinct poverty trajectories in early childhood is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To understand the prevalence of different trajectories of household poverty and their association with mid-childhood and mother indicators of physical health and psychopathology in Ireland. METHODS: We used a nationally representative, prospective cohort (Growing Up in Ireland-Infant Cohort). Household poverty included lowest third income decile, subjective poverty and material deprivation when children were aged 9 months, and 3, 5, 9 years. We used group-based multitrajectory cluster modelling to classify trajectories of poverty. Using multivariable logistic regression, adjusted with separate child and mother confounders, we assessed the association of poverty trajectories from 9 months to 9 years with child outcomes (overweight, any longstanding illness and psychopathology) at age 9 years and the same poverty trajectories over the same 9-year period with mother outcomes (overweight, any longstanding illness and depression). RESULTS: Of 11 134 participants, 4 trajectories were identified: never in poverty (43.1%), material/subjective>monetary poverty (16.1%), monetary>material poverty (25.6%) and persistent poverty (15.2%). Children in persistent poverty compared with those in never in poverty experienced higher odds of being overweight at 9 years (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.70, 95% CI 1.34, 2.16), having a longstanding illness (aOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.20, 1.91), and psychopathology (aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.42, 2.99). The outcomes for primary parents (99.7% were mothers) were as follows: having higher odds of being overweight (aOR 1.49, 95% CI 1.16, 1.92), having a longstanding illness (aOR 2.13, 95% CI 1.63, 2.79), and depression (aOR 3.54, 95% CI 2.54, 4.94). CONCLUSIONS: Any poverty trajectory was associated with poorer psychopathology and physical well-being in late childhood for children and their mothers in Ireland.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to examine the association between household energy poverty (EP) and trajectories of emotional and behavioural difficulties during childhood. METHODS: The Growing up in Ireland study is two nationally representative prospective cohorts of children. The Infant Cohort (n = 11,134) were recruited at age 9 months (9 m) and followed up at 3, 5, 7 and 9 years (y). The Child Cohort (n = 8,538) were recruited at age 9 y and followed up at 13 y and 17/18 y. EP was a composite of two relative measures of EP. Emotional and behavioural difficulties were repeatedly measured using the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ). Linear spline multilevel models were used, adjusted for confounders to examine the association between (1) EP (9 m or 3 y) and trajectories of emotional and behavioural difficulties from 3 to 9 y in the Infant Cohort and (2) EP at 9 y and the same trajectories from 9 to 18 y in the Child Cohort. RESULTS: In adjusted analyses, EP at 9 m or 3 y of age was associated with higher total difficulties score at 3 y (0.66, 95% CI 0.41, 0.91) and 5 y (0.77, 95% CI 0.48, 1.05) but not at 7 y or 9 y. EP at 9 y was associated with higher total difficulties score at 9 y (1.73, 95% CI 1.28, 2.18), with this difference reducing over time leading to 0.68 (95% CI 0.19, 1.17) at 17/18 y. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates a potential association between early life EP and emotional and behavioural difficulties that may be transient and attenuate over time during childhood. Further studies are required to replicate these findings and to better understand if these associations are causal.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between threatened miscarriage, and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring by age 14 years. METHODS: We used data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative longitudinal study of children born in the UK. Data on threatened miscarriage and potential confounders were maternal-reported and collected at 9 months postpartum. Data on ASD and ADHD were based on maternal-reported doctor diagnoses and collected when children were aged 5, 7, 11 and 14 years. A diagnosis of ASD or ADHD was assumed if parents reported ASD or ADHD at age 5, 7, 11 or 14 years. Crude and adjusted logistic regression examined threatened miscarriage and ASD and ADHD relationship, adjusting for several sociodemographic, maternal and lifestyle factors. RESULTS: A total of 18,294 singleton babies were included at baseline, and 1,104 (6.0%) women experienced a threatened miscarriage during their pregnancy. Adjusted results suggested an association between threatened miscarriage and ASD (OR: 1.55, 95% CI 1.15, 2.08), and ADHD (OR: 1.51, 95% CI 1.09, 2.10) by age 14 years. E-values for threatened miscarriage and ASD were 2.47, while the lower limits of the 95% CI were 1.57. E-values for threatened miscarriage and ADHD were 2.39, while the corresponding lower limits of the 95% CI were 1.40. CONCLUSION: Threatened miscarriage was associated with an increased likelihood of ASD and ADHD by the age of 14 years, however, residual confounding cannot be ruled out. Placental pathology may be a potential mechanism for the observed associations.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the risk of stillbirth in relation to (1) a previous caesarean delivery (CD) compared with those following a vaginal birth (VB); and (2) vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) compared with a repeat CD. DESIGN: Population-based cohort study. SETTING: The Swedish Medical Birth registry. POPULATION: Women with their first and second singletons between 1982 and 2012. METHODS: Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the association between CD in the first pregnancy and stillbirth in the second pregnancy and the association between VBAC and stillbirth. Sub-group analyses were performed by types of CD and timing of stillbirth (antepartum and intrapartum). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Stillbirth (antepartum and intrapartum fetal death). RESULTS: Of the 1 771 700 singleton births from 885 850 women, 117 114 (13.2%) women had a CD in the first pregnancy, and 51 755 had VBAC in the second pregnancy. We found a 37% increased odds of stillbirth (aOR 1.37; 95% CI 1.23-1.52) in women with a previous CD compared with VB. The odds of intrapartum stillbirth were higher in the previous pre-labour CD group (aOR 2.72; 95% CI 1.51-4.91) and in the previous in-labour CD group (aOR 1.35; 95% CI 0.76-2.40), although not statistically significant in the latter case. No increased odds were found for intrapartum stillbirth in women who had VBAC (aOR 0.99; 95% CI 0.48-2.06) compared with women who had a repeat CD. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that a CD is associated with an increased risk of subsequent stillbirth, with a greater risk among pre-labour CD. This association is not solely mediated by increases in intrapartum asphyxia, uterine rupture or attempted VBAC. Further research is needed to understand this association, but these findings might help healthcare providers to reach optimal decisions regarding mode of birth, particularly when CD is unnecessary.

INTRODUCTION: Our study evaluated how a history of stillbirth in either of the first two pregnancies affects the risk of having a stillbirth or other adverse pregnancy outcomes in the third subsequent pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We used the Swedish Medical Birth Register to define a population-based cohort of women who had at least three singleton births from 1973 to 2012. The exposure of interest was a history of stillbirth in either of the first two pregnancies. The primary outcome was subsequent stillbirth in the third pregnancy. Secondary outcomes included: preterm birth, preeclampsia, placental abruption and small-for-gestational-age infant. Adjusted logistic regression was performed including maternal age, body mass index, smoking, diabetes and hypertension. A sensitivity analysis was performed excluding stillbirths associated with congenital anomalies, pregestational and gestational diabetes, hypertension and preterm stillbirths. RESULTS: The study contained data on 1 316 175 births, including 8911 stillbirths. Compared with women who had two live births, the highest odds of stillbirth in the third pregnancy were observed in women who had two stillbirths (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 11.40, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.75-47.70), followed by those who had stillbirth in the second birth (live birth-stillbirth) (aOR 3.59, 95% CI 2.58-4.98), but the odds were still elevated in those whose first birth ended in stillbirth (stillbirth-live birth) (aOR 2.35, 1.68, 3.28). Preterm birth, pre-eclampsia and placental abruption followed a similar pattern. The odds of having a small-for-gestational-age infant were highest in women whose first birth ended in stillbirth (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.66-2.24). The increased odds of having a stillbirth in a third pregnancy when either of the earlier births ended in stillbirth remained when stillbirths associated with congenital anomalies, pregestational and gestational diabetes, hypertension or preterm stillbirths were excluded. However, when preterm stillbirths were excluded, the strength of the association was reduced. CONCLUSIONS: Even when they have had a live-born infant, women with a history of stillbirth have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; this cannot be solely accounted for by the recurrence of congenital anomalies or maternal medical disorders. This suggests that women with a history of stillbirth should be offered additional surveillance for subsequent pregnancies.

BACKGROUND: The short-term effects of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on the health of the fetus are well known; however, their impacts on the risk of mental health in the exposed offspring are not fully understood. Our aim was to examine the association between HDP and depression/anxiety at age 17 years. METHODS: We used data from The Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative longitudinal study of children born in the United Kingdom. Data on HDP and potential confounders were collected when children were 9-months. Data on depression and anxiety were collected as one variable when children were aged 17 years using self-reported doctor diagnosis, and reclassified as depression/anxiety (overall), depression/anxiety with treatment, and depression/anxiety without treatment. Crude and adjusted logistic regression models were performed to examine the association between HDP and depression/anxiety, adjusting for several maternal and socio-economic factors. RESULTS: There were 9517 singleton mother-child pairs included in the analyses. Adjusted logistic regression suggested an association between HDP and depression/anxiety (adjusted odds ratio, (aOR):1.30 [95 % CI, 1.02-1.66]) at age 17 years. A similar association was observed for HDP and depression/anxiety with treatment (aOR:1.33 [95 % CI, 1.01-1.73]) and HDP and depression/anxiety without treatment (aOR: 1.30 [95 % CI, 0.80-2.12]), although the latter did not reach statistical significance. LIMITATIONS: Data on severity and classifications of HDP were not available. CONCLUSION: Exposure to HDP may be associated with an increased likelihood of depression or anxiety at age 17 years. Future research should consider severity and different classifications of HDP.

Background: Existing studies have established an association between pregnancy, birth complications, and mental health in the first few weeks postpartum. However, there is no clear understanding of whether pregnancy and birth complications increase the risk of adverse maternal mental outcomes in the longer term. Research on maternal adverse mental health outcomes following pregnancy and birth complications beyond 12 months postpartum is scarce, and findings are inconsistent. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis will examine the available evidence on the association between pregnancy and birth complications and long-term adverse maternal mental health outcomes. Methods and analysis: We will include cohort, cross-sectional, and case-control studies in which a diagnosis of pregnancy and/or birth complication (preeclampsia, pregnancy loss, caesarean section, preterm birth, perineal laceration, neonatal intensive care unit admission, major obstetric haemorrhage, and birth injury/trauma) was reported and maternal mental disorders (depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, psychosis, and schizophrenia) after 12 months postpartum were the outcomes. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science will be conducted following a detailed search strategy until August 2022. Three authors will independently review titles and abstracts of all eligible studies, extract data using pre-defined standardised data extraction and assess the quality of each study using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. We will use random-effects meta-analysis for each exposure and outcome variable to calculate overall pooled estimates using the generic inverse variance method. This systematic review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Ethical consideration: The proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data; ethics approval is not required. The results will be presented at scientific meetings and publish in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO registration: CRD42022359017.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Previous evidence examining the association between socioeconomic status and pregnancy complications are conflicted and often limited to using area-based measures of socioeconomic status. In this study, we aimed to examine the association between individual-level socioeconomic factors and a wide range of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes using data from the IMPROvED birth cohort conducted in Sweden, the Netherlands and Republic of Ireland. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study cohort consisted of women who participated in the IMPROvED birth cohort between 2013 and 2017. Data on socioeconomic factors were self-reported and obtained at 15 weeks' gestation, and included level of education, employment status, relationship status, and income. Data on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes included gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, emergency cesarean section, preterm birth, post term delivery, small for gestational age and Apgar score at 1 min. These data were obtained within 72 h following delivery and confirmed using medical records. Multivariable logistic regression examined the association between each socioeconomic variable and each outcome separately adjusting for maternal age, maternal body mass index, maternal smoking, maternal alcohol consumption and cohort center. We also examined the effect of exposure to any ≥2 risk factors compared to none. RESULTS: A total of 2879 participants were included. Adjusted results suggested that those with less than third level of education had an increased odds of gestational hypertension (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.23-2.46), while those on a middle level of income had a reduced odds of emergency cesarean section (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.84). No significant associations were observed between socioeconomic variables and neonatal outcomes. Exposure to any ≥2 socioeconomic risk factors was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.06-2.89). CONCLUSIONS: We did not find strong evidence of associations between individual-level socioeconomic factors and pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in high-income settings overall, with only few significant associations observed among pregnancy outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Intestinal microbiota is intrinsically linked to human health. Evidence suggests that the composition and function of the microbiome differs in those with schizophrenia compared with controls. It is not clear how these alterations functionally impact people with schizophrenia. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to combine and evaluate data on compositional and functional alterations in microbiota in patients with psychosis or schizophrenia. STUDY DESIGN: Original studies involving humans and animals were included. The electronic databases PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Cochrane were systematically searched and quantitative analysis performed. STUDY RESULTS: Sixteen original studies met inclusion criteria (1376 participants: 748 cases and 628 controls). Ten were included in the meta-analysis. Although observed species and Chao 1 show a decrease in diversity in people with schizophrenia compared with controls (SMD = -0.14 and -0.66 respectively), that did not reach statistical significance. We did not find evidence for variations in richness or evenness of microbiota between patients and controls overall. Differences in beta diversity and consistent patterns in microbial taxa were noted across studies. We found increases in Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Megasphaera in schizophrenia groups. Variations in brain structure, metabolic pathways, and symptom severity may be associated with compositional alterations in the microbiome. The heterogeneous design of studies complicates a similar evaluation of functional readouts. CONCLUSIONS: The microbiome may play a role in the etiology and symptomatology of schizophrenia. Understanding how the implications of alterations in microbial genes for symptomatic expression and clinical outcomes may contribute to the development of microbiome targeted interventions for psychosis.

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the association between chronic hypertension and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in mothers with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) is limited. We investigated the association between chronic hypertension and risk of CVD, considering the role of APOs. METHODS: We used linked electronic health records in the CALIBER platform to define a UK cohort of women with recorded births between 1997 and 2016. We conducted multivariable Cox regression to estimate the association between chronic hypertension, with and without APOs, and 12 subsequent CVD events. RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 1 784 247 births (1.2 million women); of these 12 698 (0.71%) records had chronic hypertension, and 16 499 women had incident CVD during follow-up, of which 66% occurred in women under 40 years. Chronic hypertension (versus no chronic hypertension) was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of first subsequent CVD (adjusted hazard ratios, 2.22 [95% CI, 2.03-2.42]). Compared to normotensive women without APOs, the associations were the strongest in women with chronic hypertension and APOs across the 12 CVD outcomes, varying from 9.65 (5.96-15.6) for heart failure to 2.66 (2.17-3.26) for stable angina. In women with chronic hypertension without APOs, adjusted hazard ratios varied from 5.25 (3.47-7.94) for subarachnoid hemorrhage to 1.26 (0.59-2.67) for peripheral arterial disease. In women with APOs, but without chronic hypertension, adjusted hazard ratios varied from 3.27 (2.48-4.31) for intracerebral hemorrhage to 1.33 (1.26-1.41) for stable angina. CONCLUSIONS: We found strong associations between chronic hypertension and the risk of premature CVD, with greater risk in women who additionally had APOs. Intervention programs focused on these groups might lower their risk of subsequent CVD.

OBJECTIVE: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with a long-term risk for cardiovascular disease among parous patients later in life. However, relatively little is known about whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke in later life. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available literature on the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the long-term risk for maternal stroke. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL were searched from inception to December 19, 2022. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies were only included if the following criteria were met: case-control or cohort studies that were conducted with human participants, were available in English, and that measured the exposure of a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, or superimposed preeclampsia) and the outcome of maternal ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS: Three reviewers extracted the data and appraised the study quality following the Meta-analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines and using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for risk of bias assessment. RESULTS: The primary outcome was any stroke (undifferentiated) and secondary outcomes included ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The protocol for this systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under identifier CRD42021254660. Of 24 studies included (10,632,808 study participants), 8 studies examined more than 1 outcome of interest. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were significantly associated with any stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.45-2.10). Preeclampsia was significantly associated with any stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.75; 95% confidence interval, 1.56-1.97), ischemic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.46-2.06), and hemorrhagic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 2.77; 95% confidence interval, 2.04-3.75). Gestational hypertension was significantly associated with any stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.26), ischemic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-1.53), and hemorrhagic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 2.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-6.98). Chronic hypertension was associated with ischemic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-2.19). CONCLUSION: In this meta-analysis, exposure to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, seems to be associated with an increased risk for any stroke and ischemic stroke among parous patients in later life. Preventive interventions may be warranted for patients who experience hypertensive disorders of pregnancy to reduce their long-term risk for stroke.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide. It is a distressing diagnosis and, as a result, considerable research has examined the psychological sequelae of being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Breast cancer is associated with increased rates of depression and anxiety and reduced quality of life. As a consequence, multiple studies have explored the impact of psychological interventions on the psychological distress experienced after a diagnosis of breast cancer. This review is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2015. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of psychological interventions on psychological morbidities and quality of life among women with non-metastatic breast cancer. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Breast Cancer Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP) and ClinicalTrials.gov up to 16 March 2021. We also scanned the reference lists of relevant articles. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials that assessed the effectiveness of psychological interventions for women with non-metastatic breast cancer. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two review authors independently appraised, extracted data from eligible trials, and assessed risk of bias and certainty of the evidence using the GRADE approach. Any disagreement was resolved by discussion. Extracted data included information about participants, methods, the intervention and outcomes. MAIN RESULTS: We included 60 randomised controlled trials comprising 7998 participants. The most frequent reasons for exclusion were non-randomised trials and the inclusion of women with metastatic disease. The updated review included 7998 randomised women; the original review included 3940 women. A wide range of interventions was evaluated. Most interventions were cognitive- or mindfulness-based, supportive-expressive, and educational. The interventions were mainly delivered face-to-face (56 studies) and in groups (50 studies) rather than individually (10 studies). Most intervention sessions were delivered on a weekly basis with an average duration of 14 hours. Follow-up time ranged from two weeks to 24 months. Pooled standardised mean differences (SMD) from baseline indicated that the intervention may reduce depression (SMD -0.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.52 to -0.02; P = 0.04; 27 studies, 3321 participants, I2 = 91%, low-certainty evidence); anxiety (SMD -0.43, 95% CI -0.68 to -0.17; P = 0.0009; 22 studies, 2702 participants, I2 = 89%, low-certainty evidence); mood disturbance in the intervention group (SMD -0.18, 95% CI -0.31 to -0.04; P = 0.009; 13 studies, 2276 participants, I2 = 56%, low-certainty evidence); and stress (SMD -0.34, 95% (CI) -0.55 to -0.12; P = 0.002; 8 studies, 564 participants, I2 = 31%, low-certainty evidence). The intervention is likely to improve quality of life in the intervention group (SMD 0.78, 95% (CI) 0.32 to 1.24; P = 0.0008; 20 studies, 1747 participants, I2 = 95%, low-certainty evidence). Adverse events were not reported in any of the included studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Based on the available evidence, psychological intervention may have produced favourable effects on psychological outcomes, in particular depression, anxiety, mood disturbance and stress. There was also an improvement in quality of life in the psychological intervention group compared to control group. Overall, there was substantial variation across the studies in the range of psychological interventions used, control conditions, measures of the same outcome and timing of follow-up.
