The aim of this study was to examine depression and anxiety disorders and their characteristic symptoms (anhedonia/low positive affect and anxious arousal, respectively), along with measures of state negative affect (NA) and Type D personality, in relation to cardiac surgery related morbidity. Patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=158; 20.9% female; 11.4% concomitant valve surgery; age M=64.7, SD=10.6) underwent the structured MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview to determine current affective disorders. Patients also completed the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire and a measure of Type D personality traits. Postoperative cardiac morbidity was confirmed after surgery during the index hospitalization and included stroke,renal failure, ventilation>24 h, deep sternal wound infection, reoperation, arrhythmia and 30-day mortality at any location (n=59, 37.3% of total). After adjustment for age, recent myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, urgency of surgery and time spent on cardiopulmonary bypass generalized anxiety disorder was associated with cardiac morbidity (odds ratio [OR]=3.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-9.67, p=0.03). Adjusted analysis of personality traits revealed the NA component of Type D personality was associated with cardiac morbidity (OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.14, p=0.03). The Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire subscales were not associated with increased morbidity risk. Affective disorders, affective phenotypes, and personality traits were differentially associated with post-cardiac surgery morbidity outcomes independent of cardiac surgery morbidity risk factors. Concurrent investigation of depression and anxiety with respect to cardiac outcomes warrants further research.

“…However, the anhedonia subscale only consists of two items. Therefore, within the HAPPY study, the EDS has been extended with several anhedonia items depicted from the Dutch validated version of the MASQ (Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire, originally developed by Watson and Clark in 1991 [74, 75]). Psychometric properties of this extended 14-item EDS-version will be tested in a subsample.…”

BackgroundThe HAPPY study is a large prospective longitudinal cohort study in which pregnant women (N ≈ 2,500) are followed during the entire pregnancy and the whole first year postpartum. The study collects a substantial amount of psychological and physiological data investigating all kinds of determinants that might interfere with general well-being during pregnancy and postpartum, with special attention to the effect of maternal mood, pregnancy-related somatic symptoms (including nausea and vomiting (NVP) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms), thyroid function, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on pregnancy outcome of mother and foetus.Methods/designDuring pregnancy, participants receive questionnaires at 12, 22 and 32 weeks of gestation. Apart from a previous obstetric history, demographic features, distress symptoms, and pregnancy-related somatic symptoms are assessed. Furthermore, obstetrical data of the obstetric record form and ultrasound data are collected during pregnancy. At 12 and 30 weeks, thyroid function is assessed by blood analysis of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab), as well as HCG. Also, depression is assessed with special focus on the two key symptoms: depressed mood and anhedonia. After childbirth, cord blood, neonatal heel screening results and all obstetrical data with regard to start of labour, mode of delivery and complications are collected. Moreover, mothers receive questionnaires at one week, six weeks, four, eight, and twelve months postpartum, to investigate recovery after pregnancy and delivery, including postpartum mood changes, emotional distress, feeding and development of the newborn.DiscussionThe key strength of this large prospective cohort study is the holistic (multifactorial) approach on perinatal well-being combined with a longitudinal design with measurements during all trimesters of pregnancy and the whole first year postpartum, taking into account two physiological possible markers of complaints and symptoms throughout gestation: thyroid function and HCG. The HAPPY study is among the first to investigate within one design physiological and psychological aspects of NVP and CTS symptoms during pregnancy. Finally, the concept of anhedonia and depressed mood as two distinct aspects of depression and its possible relation on obstetric outcome, breastfeeding, and postpartum well-being will be studied.

“…Following the proposed cut-off values, [18,36] the BAI total scores for each subtype were also clinically significant, with class 1 classifying as severe (>25), class 2 as moderate (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), and class 3 as mild (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).Comorbidity profiles also characterized classes 1 and 2, while showing that class 3 may represent a less severe clinical entity. Interestingly, the cognitive-autonomic subtype had the highest depressive comorbidity but the lowest use of antidepressants, for which we have no obvious explanation.…”

“…Comorbidity, that is, current comorbid affective disorders (major depressive disorder, social phobia, general anxiety disorder), number of suicide attempts, frequent use of antidepressants, benzodiazepine usage (at least 50% of the time), the WHODAS functioning score (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II) [23] as an overall disability index, the mastery scale score [24] indicating the extent to which a person perceives himself to be in control of events or situations, and the three subscale scores of the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire-30, [25] with the negative affect subscale gauging emotional states such as fear, anger, or guilt; the positive affect subscale assessing moods such as feeling active, excited, delighted, enthusiastic, interested; and the somatic arousal subscale evaluating physiological arousal symptoms such as trembling, shaking, dizziness, sweating, and heart racing, having some overlap with BAI items.…”
