Depression and Anxiety Among Chronic Pain Patients in the Netherlands

The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among patients with chronic pain attending secondary and tertiary pain clinics in the Netherlands. Additionally, the study explores how pain intensity, sociodemographic factors, and the presence of anxiety or depression are associated with quality of life in this population. Using an anonymized dataset provided by the data manager, we aimed to prevent a low response rate at Amsterdam UMC and thereby reduce the risk of non-response bias.
