Implication

Observational analysis found high rates of depression and depression-anxiety in patients undergoing gastroscopy, indicating significant comorbidities.

Key Points

High rates of depression and depression-anxiety were detected among patients receiving gastroscopy.
Only 3.92% of patients had depression recognized by gastroenterologists, despite high comorbidity rates.
Multiple logistic regression showed age, disease course, and number of gastroscopies impacted major depression rates.
The findings suggest gastroenterologists may need better training to identify mental health issues in patients.
