Depression and incident cardiovascular disease among patients with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to identify the association of depression with incident CVD.

Methods

We studied patients with CKD stages 2-4 enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) and excluded participants with preexisting CVD. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the association between baseline depression [Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) score ≥11] and incidence of CVD (cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, heart failure, or peripheral artery disease). Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), systolic and dias
