“…Although there were no patients in our program who were denied LVAD implantation due to concern regarding pre-LVAD depression or anxiety only, selection bias might be present. A small study found that depression and anxiety improved after continuous flow LVAD implantation (37). It was beyond the scope of this study to reassess psychosocial factors following LVAD implantation.…”

“…The high-risk group was noted to have significantly shorter mean outpatient days, but there was no significant difference in survival, adverse outcomes, postoperative length of stay, or readmission rate. 15 The association between individual psychosocial factors with all-cause death and readmission has been examined in a cohort of destination therapy LVAD patients with no significant differences noted in deaths. However, illicit drug use and depression had a higher readmission risk.…”

In this single-center retrospective review, post hoc reconstruction of psychosocial profiles using the PACT scale and independent assessment of postimplant outcomes, including survival and adverse events, did not show any association. However, given the small number of patients in the low score PACT groups as well as limited duration of follow-up, further studies are required to elucidate the association.

Background Only a few previous studies have focused on the interaction between pretransplant psychological variables, survival on the waiting list, and adherence to therapy after heart transplantation (HTx). Methods This work combined two studies: Study 1 monitored survival of patients on a HTx waiting list (n = 50) and study 2 examined barriers to adherence after HTx (subgroup of n = 20). All patients were evaluated immediately after listing for HTx (T0). Those in study 2 were also evaluated immediately after HTx (T1) and after 6 months (T2). Psychosocial functioning was measured by the Transplant Evaluation Rating Scale (TERS), and depression and anxiety by Patient Health Questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Barriers to immunosuppressive adherence post‐HTx were measured by the Medication Experience Scale for Immunosuppressants (MESI). Results According to the TERS classification of Rothenhäusler et al, patients were divided into three groups in study 1. Compared with inconspicuous patients (n = 23) and risk patients (n = 21), high‐risk patients (n = 6) demonstrated a higher mortality (log‐rank test of trend, P = 0.002). In study 2, there was a strong correlation between the TERS (T0) and the MESI (T2) (r = 0.84, P = 0.001). Conclusions The TERS may serve as a predictor of survival on the waiting list. There is need for further longitudinal data with larger sample sizes.
