Depressive symptoms and outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Depressive symptoms are an independent risk factor for outcome in patients with cardiac disease, but their effect on outcome among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether or not clinical variables including length of stay, readmission rates, and mortality are related to patients' level of depressive symptoms before and after coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: An observational, longitudinal design was used. The Medical Outco… Show more

“…Considerable evidence details the association between depression and poor recovery both in the immediate period following CABG surgery and in the longer term (Burg et al, 2003;Saur et al, 2001). Markers of short-term recovery, including longer in-hospital stay following surgery, pain, graft site and wound infection, have been linked with depression (Doering, Moser, Lemankiewicz, Luper, & Khan, 2005;.…”

“…Moreover, a number of studies have found that adverse CABG outcomes such as LOS and patient disposition cannot be fully explained by traditional risk factors alone such as age, gender, and medical comorbidities. 8,9 To the best of our knowledge there have been no studies that have simultaneously examined the relations between gender and anxiety disorders on CABG outcomes among rural patients. Thus, one of the goals of this study was to investigate the association between CABG outcomes (eg, length of stay and patient disposition), gender, and anxiety while holding constant potential differences in medical and sociodemographic (eg, age, race) variables.…”

“…one year after open-heart surgery (Doering et al, 2005;Saur et al, 2001). Saur et al (2001) examined feeling downhearted and blue, and being happy. Depressive symptoms before CABG surgery correlated with depressive symptoms at six-weeks for the down-in-the-dumps question (p = .009), the downhearted question (p < .001), and the overall Mental Health scale (p < .001).…”
