Depression increases the risk of mortality in patients with heart failure: a meta-analysis.
Open accessAbstract
Background Depression is a risk factor for mortality in cardiovascular diseases. Prior studies confirm that depression predicts adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, data were inconclusive regarding the effect of depression on mortality. This meta-analysis examines the relationship between depression and mortality in HF.Methods Prospective studies of depression and mortality in HF published between 1999 and April 2016 were located using PubMed, PsychINFO, and MEDLINE. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was used to compute an aggregated effect size estimates of hazard ratios and to conduct subgroup analyses.Results Eighteen studies met inclusion criteria. For 8 aggregated univariate and 14 multivariate estimates, depressive symptoms were related to all-cause mortality. A pooled HR of 3 multivariate analyses indicated that depressive symptoms were not linked to cardiovascular mortality. In subgroup analyses, depression predicted all-cause mortality in samples with a mean age >65. The impact of depression on all-cause mortality also differed by follow-up duration, with samples with shorter follow-up durations demonstrating a larger effect.Conclusions In HF, depression is related to increased all-cause mortality risk, with stronger effects in samples with shorter follow-up and in older adults. In older adults, depression may serve as a marker of more severe HF. However, this possibility is difficult to examine given inconsistent adjustment for HF severity. Additional studies may assist in determining the relationship between depression and cardiovascular mortality, as the low number of studies examining cardiovascular mortality may have precluded detection of an effect.

In the citing paper
“Psychiatric symptoms and illnesses are in turn associated with several worse outcomes regarding the CVD: poorer prognosis of the course of the CVD, lower quality of life (QoL), increased risk of mortality, and interference with the CVD treatment, for example, due to worse adherence (3, 7–11).”

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.
