Abstract
Objective: To examine the effect of a premenopausal risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) in women at increased risk of ovarian cancer on objective and subjective cognition at least 10 years after RRSO. Design: A cross‐sectional study with prospective follow‐up, nested in a nationwide cohort. Setting: Multicentre in the Netherlands. Population or Sample: 641 women (66% BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers) who underwent either a premenopausal RRSO ≤ age 45 (n = 436) or a postmenopausal RRSO ≥ age 54 (n = 205). All participants were older than 55 years at recruitment. Methods: Participants completed an online cognitive test battery and a questionnaire on subjective cognition. We used multivariable regression analyses, adjusting for age, education, breast cancer, hormone replacement therapy, cardiovascular risk factors and depression. Main Outcome Measures: The influence of RRSO on objective and subjective cognition of women with a premenopausal RRSO compared with women with a postmenopausal RRSO. Results: After adjustment, women with a premenopausal RRSO (mean time since RRSO 18.2 years) performed similarly on objective cognitive tests compared with women with a postmenopausal RRSO (mean time since RRSO 11.9 years). However, they more frequently reported problems with reasoning (odds ratio [OR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.1–3.1) and multitasking (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.4) than women with a postmenopausal RRSO. This difference between groups disappeared in an analysis restricted to women of comparable ages (60–70 years). Conclusions: Reassuringly, approximately 18 years after RRSO, we found no association between premenopausal RRSO and objective cognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
