Despite this incidence, psychological support is limited.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472423005471_sec_a2\">\n\t    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to strengthen the case for improving such support by determining the incidence and risk factors for anxiety and depression disorders in patients with facial scarring.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472423005471_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n\t    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A matched cohort study was performed. Patients were identified via secondary care data sources, using clinical codes for conditions resulting in facial scarring. A diagnosis of anxiety or depression was determined by linkage with the patient's primary care general practice data. Incidence was calculated per 1000 person-years at risk (PYAR). Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472423005471_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Between 2009 and 2018, 179 079 patients met the study criteria and were identified as having a facial scar, and matched to 179 079 controls. The incidence of anxiety in the facial scarring group was 10.05 per 1000 PYAR compared with 7.48 per 1000 PYAR for controls. The incidence of depression in the facial scarring group was 16.28 per 1000 PYAR compared with 9.56 per 1000 PYAR for controls. Age at the time of scarring, previous history of anxiety or depression, female gender, socioeconomic status and classification of scarring increased the risk of both anxiety disorders and depression.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472423005471_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>There is a high burden of anxiety disorders and depression in this patient group.
