In addition, both online and paper questionnaires were designed to collect basic information. Moreover, Zung\u2019s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale were employed to evaluate the anxiety and depression of participants in both groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnant women in the cervical insufficiency group had significantly higher Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale scores than did those in the control group (both P&amp;lt;0.001). Compared with those in the control group, a greater percentage of pregnant women in the cervical insufficiency group met the diagnostic criteria for anxiety and depression. The multivariate linear regression model revealed that cervical insufficiency and a history of abnormal pregnancy were related to higher Self-rating Anxiety Scale scores, whereas a history of abnormal pregnancy was also associated with higher Self-rating Depression Scale scores (both P&amp;lt;0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnant women with cervical insufficiency are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in the second trimester than normal pregnant women are.
