Depression predicts perioperative outcomes following coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Abstract

Depression is common in middle-aged men undergoing CABG and is an independent predictor of postoperative length of hospital stay and late perioperative complications.

Depression Is Associated with Prolonged and Complicated Recovery Following Colorectal Surgery

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] However, the impact of depression on other surgical procedures has not been examined. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the effect of depression on hospital length of stay and site of discharge in colorectal surgery patients.…”

Untreated preoperative depression is not associated with postoperative arrhythmias in CABG patients

“…In a study by Beresnevaite et al, 32 109 male patients undergoing CABG were evaluated for preoperative depression and postoperative complications. They did not find any association between preoperative depression and early postoperative complications, including arrhythmia.…”

“…22 Despite the growing body of evidence that preoperative depression can increase the incidence of postoperative arrhythmia, two recently published reports in CABG patients did not support this hypothesis. 32,33 Both studies used self-administered questionnaires to screen for preoperative depression and did not address whether the patients were treated for their depression symptoms.…”

Depression and Cardiac Diseases (Review of Literature)

“…Выраженную депрес-сивную симптоматику связывают с риском рецидива фибрилляции предсердий после кардиоверсии [26] и летального исхода при мерцательной аритмии с ХСН [14]. У пациентов с АКШ коморбидная депрессия ассоциирована с увеличением показателей продол-жительности госпитализаций [3], периоперационных осложнений [3], частоты повторных госпитализаций [5], ухудшения функциональных показателей [5] и смертности [4]. Депрессию связывают с повышенной смертностью независимо от других факторов и у пациентов с ИКД [45].…”
