Persistent Depressive Symptoms and Functional Decline Among Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

Abstract: Objective-Because depressive symptoms are prevalent among patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), our goal was to study the effect of depressive symptoms over time on functional decline among patients with PAD.Methods-We conducted a prospective cohort study of 417 patients with PAD followed annually for 2 years. A Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-S) score >5 was considered positive for depressive symptoms. Depressive symptom categories based on annual GDS-S measures included persistent, new,… Show more

“…In addition to increasing the risk of PAD, depression also appears to impact the functional status and symptoms of patients with PAD, leading to more dramatic annual declines in functional performance 13 , reduced walking distance 14 , and reduced quality of life benefit following revascularization 15 . The findings from this study add to a growing body of literature on behavioral and psychosocial risk factors in the development of cardiovascular disorders.…”

“…12 Others have shown that among patients with PAD, those with depression have worse functional outcomes, greater need for revascularization, poorer quality of life outcomes following revascularization, and higher risk for adverse events after revascularization. 13-16 Prior research has also indicated that women with PAD below the age of 65 years are particularly vulnerable to experiencing depressive symptoms and that these symptoms seem to be accompanied with high rates of smoking. 17 …”

“…A recent study suggests that body mass index (BMI) influences functional performance in older adults such that obese older adults perform worse on the Short Performance Physical Battery (SPPB) as compared to their non-obese counterparts (7). Individuals with depressive symptoms show greater decline in 6-minute walk distance, fast walking velocity and the SPPB summary score in comparison to those with no depressive symptoms (8). Nonagenarians perform poorly on the Reduced Continuous Scale-Physical Function Performance Test compared to more active older adults between the ages of 60–74 years, an effect that is correlated with lower levels of PA (9).…”

“…Depression has been reported to occur in approximately one out of five patients with PAD, while the average prevalence of depression in later life has been estimated to be 13% in community-dwelling people. [2][3][4][5] PAD patients with depression have been described to have greater impairment of lower extremity functioning, 4 more functional decline, 6 and to be at greater risk for poor long-term outcomes. 7 Interventions in PAD are primarily aimed at relieving symptoms and disease burden.…”
