Associations of depression, anxiety and antidepressants with histological severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Abstract
Background: Depression and anxiety are common in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ). However, their associations with histological severity of NAFLD are unknown. Aim: This study examined the association(s) of depression, anxiety and antidepressant pharmacotherapy with severity of histological features in patients with NAFLD . Methods: We analysed 567 patients with biopsy‐proven NAFLD enrolled in the Duke NAFLD Clinical Database. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety & Depression Scale ( HADS ). The associations of depression and anxiety with severity of histological features of NAFLD were analysed using multiple logistic (or ordinal logistic) regression models with and without adjusting for confounding factors. Result: Subclinical and clinical depression was noted in 53% and 14% of patients respectively. Subclinical and clinical anxiety was noted in 45% and 25% of patients respectively. After adjusting for confounders, depression was significantly associated with more severe hepatocyte ballooning in a dose‐dependent manner (likelihood ratio test, P = 0.0201); adjusted cumulative odds ratio ( COR ) of subclinical and clinical depression for having a higher grade of hepatocyte ballooning were 2.1 [95% CI , 1.0, 4.4] and 3.6 [95% CI , 1.4, 8.8]. Conclusions: In patients with NAFLD , depression was associated with more severe hepatocyte ballooning. Further investigation exploring pathobiological mechanisms underlying the observed associations and potential effects of antidepressant pharmacotherapy on NAFLD liver histology is warranted.

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.
