Key result
Among heart failure inpatients, less severe depression was the primary predictor of shorter time to remission for major depression (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.88-0.96).
Cohort (n=404)
Hazard Ratio: 0.92 (95% CI 0.88–0.96)
In hospitalized heart failure patients, minor depression remission is influenced by physical stressors and comorbidities, whereas major depression remission is primarily driven by baseline depression severity, with significant undertreatment observed.

Baseline characteristics may predict remission timing in depressed HF inpatients; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Harold G. Koenig (2006) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure and depression (n=404). Less severe depression vs. More severe depression was evaluated on Time to remission (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.88-0.96). Among heart failure inpatients, less severe depression was the primary predictor of shorter time to remission for major depression (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.88-0.96).
