Depression and Survival in Metastatic Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Effects of Early Palliative Care
Open accessAbstract
Purpose: In a randomized trial, early palliative care (EPC) in patients with metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was observed to improve survival. In a secondary analysis, we explored the hypothesis that the survival benefit resulted from improving depression. Patients and Methods: In total, 151 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC participated in a randomized trial of EPC integrated with standard oncology care versus standard oncology care alone. Depression was assessed at baseline and at 12 weeks with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and was scored diagnostically by using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, criteria for major depression syndrome (MDS). Depression response was considered ≥ 50% reduction in PHQ-9 scores at 12 weeks. Survival differences were tested with log-rank and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: At baseline, 21 patients (14%) met MDS criteria. MDS significantly predicted worse survival (hazard ratio, 1.82; P = .02). Patients assigned to EPC had greater improvements in PHQ-9 scores at 12 weeks (P < .001); among patients with MDS, those receiving EPC had greater rates of depression response at 12 weeks (P = .04). However, improvement in PHQ-9 scores was not associated with improved survival, except in a sensitivity analysis in which patients who died before 12 weeks were modeled to have worse depression. The group randomly assigned to EPC remained independently associated with survival after adding improvement in PHQ-9 scores to the survival model. Conclusion: Depression predicted worse survival in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC. Although EPC was associated with greater improvement in depression at 12 weeks, the data do not support the hypothesis that treatment of depression mediated the observed survival benefit from EPC.

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.
