Anhedonic Depression Is Not Associated With Risk of Recurrent Major Adverse Cardiac Events and All-Cause Mortality in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is common and increases risks of adverse outcomes, but it remains unclear which depression features are most associated with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality (ACM).

Purpose

To examine whether a subtype of depression characterized by anhedonia and major depressive disorder (MDD) predicts 1-year MACE/ACM occurrence in ACS patients compared to no MDD history. We also consider other depression features in the literature as predictors.

Methods

Patients (N = 1,087) presenting to a hospital with ACS completed a self-report measure of current depressive symptoms in-hospital and a diagnostic interview assessing MDD within 1 week post-hospitalization. MACE/ACM events were assessed at 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. Cox regression models were used to examine the association of the anhedonic depression subtype and MDD without anhedonia with time to MACE/ACM, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical covariates.

Results

There were 142 MACE/ACM events over the 12-month follow-up. The 1-year MACE/ACM in patients with anhedonic depression, compared to those with no MDD, was somewhat higher in an age-adjusted model (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.63, p = .08), but was not significant after further covariate adjustment (HR = 1.24, p = .47). Of the additional depression features, moderate-to-severe self-reported depressive symptoms significantly predicted the risk of MACE/ACM, even in covariate-adjusted models (HR = 1.72, p = .04), but the continuous measure of self-reported depressive symptoms did not.

Conclusion

The anhedonic depression subtype did not uniquely predict MACE/ACM as hypothesized. Moderate-to-severe levels of total self-reported depressive symptoms, however, may be associated with increased MACE/ACM risk, even after accounting for potential sociodemographic and clinical confounders.

Project description:Background The Healthy Aging Index (HAI) has been regarded as useful in capturing the health status of multiple organ systems. However, to what extent the HAI is associated with major cardiovascular events remains largely unknown. The authors constructed a modified HAI (mHAI) to quantify the association of physiological aging with major vascular events and explored how the effects of a healthy lifestyle can modify this association. Methods and Results The participants with either missing values of any individual mHAI component or major illnesses such as heart attack, angina and stroke, and self-reported cancer at baseline were excluded. The mHAI components include systolic blood pressure, reaction time, forced vital capacity, serum cystatin c, and serum glucose. The authors used Cox proportional hazard models to quantify the association of mHAI with major adverse cardiac events, major coronary events, and ischemic heart disease. Cumulative incidence at 5 and 10 years was estimated, and joint analyses were stratified by age group and 4 mHAI categories. The mHAI was significantly correlated with major cardiovascular events, which is a better reflection of the aging level of the body than chronological age. An mHAI was calculated in 338 044 participants aged 38 to 73 years in the UK Biobank. Each point increase in the mHAI was associated with a 44% higher risk of major adverse cardiac events (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.44 [95% CI, 1.40-1.49]), 44% higher risk of major coronary events (aHR, 1.44 [95% CI, 1.40-1.48]), and 36% higher risk of ischemic heart disease (aHR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.33-1.39]). The percentage of population-attribution risk was 51% (95% CI, 47-55) for major adverse cardiac events, 49% (95% CI, 45-53) for major coronary events, and 47% (95% CI, 44-50) for ischemic heart disease, which means that a substantial portion of these events could be prevented. Systolic blood pressure was the factor most significantly associated with major adverse cardiac events (aHR, 1.94 [95% CI, 1.82-2.08]; percentage of population-attribution risk, 36%), major coronary events (aHR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.85-2.17]; percentage of population-attribution risk, 38%), and ischemic heart disease (aHR, 1.80 [95% CI, 1.71-1.89]; percentage of population-attribution risk, 32%). A healthy lifestyle significantly attenuated mHAI associations with incidence of vascular events. Conclusions Our findings indicate that higher mHAI is associated with increased major vascular events. A healthy lifestyle may attenuate these associations.

Project description:BackgroundKey dimensions of cardiac arrest-induced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms include reexperiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal. It remains unknown which dimensions are most predictive of outcome.PurposeTo determine which dimensions of cardiac arrest-induced PTSD are predictive of clinical outcome within 13 months posthospital discharge.MethodsPTSD symptoms were assessed in survivors of cardiac arrest who were able to complete psychological screening measures at hospital discharge via the PTSD Checklist-Specific scale, which queries for 17 symptoms using five levels of severity. Responses on items for each symptom dimension of the four-factor numbing model (reexperiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal) were converted to Z-scores and treated as continuous predictors. The combined primary endpoint was all-cause mortality (ACM) or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; hospitalization for myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, emergency coronary revascularization, or urgent defibrillator/pacemaker placements) within 13 months postdischarge. Four bivariate Cox proportional hazards survival models evaluated associations between individual symptom dimensions and ACM/MACE. A multivariable model then evaluated whether significant bivariate predictors remained independent predictors of the primary outcome after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, premorbid psychiatric diagnoses, and initial cardiac rhythm.ResultsA total of 114 patients (59.6% men, 52.6% white, mean age: 54.6 ± 13 years) were included. In bivariate analyses, only hyperarousal was significantly associated with ACM/MACE. In a fully adjusted model, 1 standard deviation increase in hyperarousal symptoms corresponded to a two-times increased risk of experiencing ACM/MACE.ConclusionsGreater level of hyperarousal symptoms was associated with a higher risk of ACM/MACE within 13 months postcardiac arrest. This initial evidence should be further investigated in a larger sample.

Project description:BackgroundEmergency general surgery (EGS) is associated with increased mortality, with kidney failure a contributing risk, but comparative outcomes between patients with kidney failure and the general population are lacking.MethodsIn this retrospective population-cohort study, data were analysed for all EGS procedures performed in England between 1 April 2004 and 31 March 2019. EGS was defined as partial colectomy, small bowel resection, cholecystectomy, appendicectomy, lysis of peritoneal adhesions, surgery for peptic ulcer, or laparotomy. The main outcome measure was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause mortality after surgery.ResultsFrom 691 064 procedures, 0.16 per cent (n = 1097) and 0.23 per cent (n = 1567) were performed on kidney transplant and dialysis recipients respectively. Laparotomy was the most frequent EGS procedure for kidney transplant (46 per cent of procedures, n = 507) and dialysis (45 per cent of procedures, n = 704) recipients, with the highest 30-day and 1-year mortality. In logistic regression analysis, both kidney failure cohorts had higher risk for experiencing MACEs in the postoperative interval after emergency laparotomy; within 3 months (dialysis; OR 2.44 (95 per cent c.i. 2.08 to 2.87), P < 0.001 and transplant; OR 2.05 (95 per cent c.i. 1.57 to 2.68), P < 0.001) and within 1 year (dialysis; OR 2.39 (95 per cent c.i. 2.06 to 2.77), P < 0.001 and transplant; OR 2.21 (95 per cent c.i. 1.76 to 2.77), P < 0.001); however, in a propensity-score-matched cohort, increased risk for MACEs was observed among dialysis patients after emergency laparotomy (HR 2.10 (95 per cent c.i. 1.82 to 2.43), P < 0.001) but not kidney transplant recipients (HR 1.17 (95 per cent c.i. 0.97 to 1.41), P = 0.096).ConclusionMortality after emergency surgery is higher for patients with kidney failure and dialysis is worse than kidney transplantation, with cardiovascular deaths more common than the general population.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare 1-year all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in cardiac arrest survivors with and without posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology at hospital discharge.DesignProspective, observational cohort.SettingICUs at a tertiary-care center.PatientsAdults with return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between September 2015 and September 2017. A consecutive sample of survivors with sufficient mental status to self-report cardiac arrest and subsequent hospitalization-induced posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (cardiac arrest-induced posttraumatic stress symptomatology) at hospital discharge were included.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsThe combined primary endpoint was all-cause mortality or major adverse cardiovascular event-hospitalization for nonfatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, emergency coronary revascularization, or urgent implantable cardio-defibrillators/permanent pacemaker placements within 12 months of discharge. An in-person posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology was assessed at hospital discharge via the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Specific scale; a suggested diagnostic cutoff of 36 for specialized medical settings was adopted. Outcomes for patients meeting (vs not meeting) this cutoff were compared using Cox-hazard regression models. Of 114 included patients, 36 (31.6%) screened positive for cardiac arrest-induced posttraumatic stress symptomatology at discharge (median 21 d post cardiac arrest; interquartile range, 11-36). During the follow-up period (median = 12.4 mo; interquartile range, 10.2-13.5 mo), 10 (8.8%) died and 29 (25.4%) experienced a recurrent major adverse cardiovascular event: rehospitalizations due to myocardial infarction (n = 4; 13.8%), unstable angina (n = 8; 27.6%), congestive heart failure exacerbations (n = 4; 13.8%), emergency revascularizations (n = 5, 17.2%), and urgent implantable cardio-defibrillator/permanent pacemaker placements (n = 8; 27.6%). Cardiac arrest-induced posttraumatic stress symptomatology was associated with all-cause mortality/major adverse cardiovascular event in univariate (hazard ratio, 3.19; 95% CI, 1.7-6.0) and in models adjusted for age, sex, comorbidities, preexisting psychiatric condition, and nonshockable initial rhythm (hazard ratio, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.6-6.0).ConclusionsPosttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology is common after cardiac arrest, and cardiac arrest-induced posttraumatic stress symptomatology was associated with significantly higher risk of death and cardiovascular events. Further studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
