Key result
Comorbid depression in individuals with diabetes was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to diabetes alone (pooled HR 1.50; 95% CI 1.35-1.66).

Supports targeted research on depression treatment in diabetes; leaves open whether it reduces mortality risk.
Park et al. (2013) conducted a meta-analysis in Diabetes and comorbid depression (n=42,363). Comorbid depression vs. Diabetes alone (without depression) was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.35-1.66). Comorbid depression in individuals with diabetes was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to diabetes alone (pooled HR 1.50; 95% CI 1.35-1.66).
