Association between Psychiatric Disorders and the Incidence of Heart Failure in Women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression and anxiety occur more frequently in women and are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Objectives

Data on the association between these psychiatric conditions and the incidence of acute heart failure (HF) and how they influence heart failure outcomes in women are lacking. We investigated this potential relationship using data from the National Inpatient Sample.

Methods

We used ICD-10 codes to extract encounters for acute heart failure and/or the acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, anxiety, and depression from the discharge data of the NIS from 2019 to 2020. We compared baseline characteristics and length of stay (LOS), cost of care (COC) and acute HF by depression/anxiety status for males and females and employed
