Objectives: Pain and psychological disorders are the 2 most commonly occurring symptom clusters in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for anxiety and depressive disorders in patients with PHN. Methods: Retrospectively, we examined the potential risk factors of anxiety and depression among patients with PHN from the clinic medical records of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from 2017 to 2019. The Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression. Patients were retrospectively allocated to 2 groups – PHN with and without anxiety/depression – and compared to identify the differential patient characteristics. Results: Cases of 661 patients who were diagnosed with PHN were included. Anxiety and depression developed in 69.0% (456/661) and 65.8% (435/661) of the enrolled patients with PHN, respectively. Results of univariate regression analyses showed that female sex, magnitude of pain intensity, time from onset of rash and extent of spread of rashes were significantly associated with anxiety and depression in patients with PHN. Multivariate analysis revealed that both anxiety and depression states significantly correlated with female sex, magnitude of pain intensity, and extent of spread of rashes. Conclusions: Anxiety and depression were not uncommon in patients with PHN. Women with PHN who experience severe pain and develop extensive rashes have a high risk of developing anxiety and depressive disorders.
