Question Do women with premenstrual disorders (PMDs) have higher risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality compared with women without PMDs?
Findings This nationwide matched cohort study of 406 488 women in Sweden during a mean (SD) follow-up of 6.2 (4.6) years (range, 1-18 years) revealed that overall, women with diagnosed PMDs did not have an increased risk of all-cause premature death. However, there was an increased mortality risk among women with PMDs diagnosed before age 25 years, as well as increased risk of death due to suicide, irrespective of age at diagnosis.
Meaning These findings suggest that women with PMDs are not at increased risk of all-cause mortality, but active surveillance might be needed among young patients and for suicide prevention for all ages..
