Abstract

Introduction C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant with an increasing number of clinical functions. Studies in recent years have identified several social, economic, demographic, and psychological factors that contribute to baseline inflammation. Psychosocial stress represents a significant contributor to baseline inflammation. Given the importance of understanding background drivers of CRP levels, we conducted this review to assess the impact of chronic psychosocial stress on CRP levels.Methods Medline was searched through February 2013 for human studies examining CRP levels with respect to chronic psychosocial stress.Results The initial search identified 587 articles from which 129 potentially appropriate articles were reviewed. Of these 129 articles, 41 articles were included in the review. These studies were published between 2003 and 2013. Of these studies, 6 analyzed employment stress, 2 analyzed unemployment stress, 6 analyzed burnout and vital exhaustion, 6 analyzed caregiver stress, 3 analyzed interpersonal stress, 17 analyzed socioeconomic position, and 2 analyzed discrimination.Conclusion We conclude that psychosocial stress significantly impacts CRP and should be considered when interpreting the meaning of CRP elevations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
