Anxiety and depression in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This is the first study that investigates the prevalence and actual treatment of anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The prevalence of mental disorders in patients with PH was compared with parallel groups of primary care patients and patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and the relationship between functional status and prevalence of mental disorders was determined. METHODS: The patient group with PH (70.1% female; mean age, 47.8 +/- 12.7 years) and the two comparison groups, which were matched by age and sex, consisted of 164 patients each. Patients completed self-administered instruments, including the Patient Health Questionnaire for the diagnosis of mental disorders. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class was assessed in all patients with PH. RESULTS: Thirty-five percent of the patients with PH suffered from mental disorders, with the most common being major depressive disorder (15.9%) and panic disorder (10.4%). Both panic disorder and panic attacks were significantly more prevalent in patients with PH than in either patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases or primary care patients. The prevalence of mental disorders in patients with PH increased significantly with functional impairment, from 17.7% (NYHA class I) to 61.9% (NYHA class IV). Only 24.1% of the patients with PH with mental disorders were receiving psychopharmacological or psychotherapeutic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Anxiety and depression are frequent in patients with PH and increase as the severity of disease progresses. Given the fact that safe and efficacious treatments of mental disorders are available, greater importance should be attached to the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions in patients with PH.

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.
