“…Fifth, although high prevalence of anxiety and depression in individuals with chronic breathing disorders has been reported [37][38][39], the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these relationships remain unclear [40]. As several researchers have suggested [41][42][43][44], there is a need to routinely employ screening tools for anxiety and depression in nonpsychiatric medical settings. Anxiety and depression are associated with an increased risk of relapse rates in patients with chronic breathing disorders after treatment [38,45].…”

“…The DC-scale performed best in screening in accordance with whether diagnostic algorithms account for the presence of symptoms or not. In primary care Fink et al [19,28] found good internal and external validity for SCL-8 and Christensen et al [3] found good external validity for SCL-8, SCL-ANX4, and SCL-DEP6.…”

“…SCL-8 is regarded as an easy, valid and excellent screening tool to detect possible depression when screened in a medical context. [25,26] Information concerning smoking cessation from admission and the next 6 weeks and information about smoking status at 1-year follow-up was self-reported by the patients in a questionnaire. Patients' educational level was also self-reported in a questionnaire at baseline.…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between depression and maintenance of smoking cessation at 1-year follow-up in patients admitted with first-incidence acute myocardial infarction (MI) with a focus on educational level. University Hospital in Denmark with first-incidence MI. The patients were screened for depression 6 weeks after admission and offered cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Patients were included if they stopped smoking at admission or in the next 6 weeks, if they were screened for depression and if they gave information concerning smoking status.Results: A quarter of the patients were screened positive for depression. There was no significant difference in the participation at the smoking cessation part of the rehabilitation for patients screened positive or negative for depression, whether the results were adjusted for gender and educational level (OR = 0.84; p-value = .75) or not (OR = 0.75; p-value = .56). There was a significant association between a positive depression screening and failing to maintain a smoking cessation in men (OR = 7.67; p-value = .03) at 1-year follow-up. When adjusted for educational level a significant association was still seen (OR = 7.48; p-value = .01).Conclusions: There was a significant association between a positive depression screening and failing to maintain a smoking cessation in men at 1-year follow-up. The result was consistent after adjusting for educational level.
