May favor 1-month over baseline depression screening post-revascularization; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Does depression screening at 1-month postprocedure better predict persistent depression at 6 months compared to baseline screening in patients undergoing coronary revascularization?
Screening for depression 1 month after coronary revascularization is significantly more predictive of persistent depression at 6 months than screening prior to the procedure.
