What quality-of-life, social support, and baseline clinical characteristics are associated with depressive symptoms among patients hospitalized with coronary artery disease?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Nearly half of patients hospitalized for coronary artery disease experience depressive symptoms, which are strongly linked to lower tangible social support, lower vitality, and higher bodily pain rather than comorbidity burden.
We sought to examine factors associated with depressive symptoms among patients with heart disease. Data from 197 patients admitted for coronary artery disease were examined using multivariate predictive models. Women and unmarried patients were more likely to report depressive symptoms. In multivariate models, we observed that depressive symptoms were associated with the level of tangible social (but not emotional) support, bodily pain, and vitality, but not the number of comorbidities, gender, or marital status.

Jackson et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (acute coronary syndrome or elective coronary angiography with significant CAD) (n=197). Bodily pain, social support (MOS survey), and health status/quality of life (SF-36) vs. Patients without depressive symptoms (BDI score 0-9) was evaluated on Depressive symptoms defined as Beck Depression Index (BDI) score ≥10 (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.16-1.68, p=<0.001). Bodily pain, tangible social support, and vitality were associated with depressive symptoms (BDI ≥10) in patients hospitalized for CAD.
