Table 1 Characteristics of the study population undergoing gastroscopy stratified by abnormal HADS depression and anxiety scores (cut-off: HADS-A ≥ 11 = positive, HADS-D ≥ 8 = positive). Shown are frequencies (%) or means and standard deviations of the indicated variables as well as the corresponding p values for the comparisons between the two groups with normal and elevated HADS scores

From: Association between self-rated depressive symptoms and mucosal expression of NF-κ B in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms
