Mortality risk among women with premenstrual disorders in Sweden

About The Study: The findings of this matched cohort study suggest that women with premenstrual disorders are not at increased risk of early death overall. However, the risk was elevated among young women and for death by suicide. This supports the importance of careful follow-up for young patients and highlights the need to develop suicide prevention strategies for all women with premenstrual disorders.
