Table 2 Prevalence and severity distribution of anxiety and depression by assisted reproductive technology outcome, n (%)

Category	All (n = 100)	Pregnant (n = 51)	Non-pregnant (n = 49)	P value
SAS
Normal (< 50)	26 (26.0)	19 (37.3)	7 (14.3)	0.008
Mild anxiety (50-59)	32 (32.0)	20 (39.2)	12 (24.5)	0.107
Moderate anxiety (60-69)	28 (28.0)	10 (19.6)	18 (36.7)	0.054
Severe anxiety (≥ 70)	14 (14.0)	2 (3.9)	12 (24.5)	0.003
Any anxiety (≥ 50)	74 (74.0)	32 (62.7)	42 (85.7)	0.007
SDS
Normal (< 53)	32 (32.0)	24 (47.1)	8 (16.3)	0.001
Mild depression (53-62)	35 (35.0)	19 (37.3)	16 (32.7)	0.624
Moderate depression (63-72)	24 (24.0)	7 (13.7)	17 (34.7)	0.012
Severe depression (≥ 73)	9 (9.0)	1 (2.0)	8 (16.3)	0.013
Any depression (≥ 53)	68 (68.0)	27 (52.9)	41 (83.7)	< 0.001
Co-morbid anxiety + depression
Both SAS ≥ 50 and SDS ≥ 53	56 (56.0)	19 (37.3)	37 (75.5)	< 0.001

P values from χ² test (pregnant vs non-pregnant). Cut-offs: Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score ≥ 50 = any anxiety; Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score ≥ 53 = any depression. Co-morbid anxiety + depression = both SAS score ≥ 50 and SDS score ≥ 53 simultaneously. SAS: Self-Rating Anxiety Scale; SDS: Self-Rating Depression Scale.
