Among patients who responded that they believed that psychologic stress triggered an exacerbation of their disease (PSTE group), the CES-D scores were significantly higher for patients with active disease than for those in remission (median (interquartile range (IQR)) = 7 (4–9.5) vs. 5 (3–7), p < .0001). Among patients who responded that they did not believe psychologic stress exacerbated their disease (non-PSTE group), the CES-D scores did not differ significantly between patients with active disease and patients in remission (median (IQR) = 5 (2–8) vs. 4 (3–7), p = 0.78).
