The abstract describes a study evaluating the association of early psychiatric morbidity with cardiac outcomes in 92 patients with presumed myocardial infarction, but reports no quantitative results.
Why the study?
Is psychiatric morbidity during the early phase of admission for presumed myocardial infarction associated with cardiac diagnosis and subsequent morbidity?
Observational (n=92)
Is psychiatric morbidity during the early phase of admission for presumed myocardial infarction associated with cardiac diagnosis and subsequent morbidity?
This study evaluates the association between early psychiatric morbidity and subsequent cardiac and psychosocial outcomes in patients admitted for presumed myocardial infarction.
No quantitative link reported between early psychiatric morbidity and cardiac outcomes; leaves open prognostic value in presumed MI.
We evaluated the association of psychiatric morbidity during the early phase of admission to a coronary care unit with cardiac diagnosis and subsequent morbidity. Ninety-two patients admitted for the first time for presumed myocardial infarction were evaluated within 48 hours of hospitalization. Anxiety and depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment were rated. Data were collected on cardiac diagnosis and morbidity. Three and 12 months after hospitalization, cardiac morbidity, psychiatric symptoms and psychosocial morbidity were assessed.
