Risk of depression after coronary artery bypass grafting: a SWEDEHEART population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

A diagnosis of depression in patients with coronary heart disease is associated with worse outcomes. This study examined the long-term risk for new onset of depression after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared to an age- and sex-matched control group from the general population.

Methods and results

In total, 125 418 primary isolated CABG patients and 495 371 matched controls were included from 1992 to 2017. The SWEDEHEART registry and three other national registers were used to acquire information about baseline characteristics and depression. The adjusted risk of depression was estimated by using Cox regression models adjusted for patient characteristics, and socioeconomic variables, described by hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
