Comparison of Recent Trends in Patients With and Without Major Depression and Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract Depression has been associated with adverse outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, trends over time in the incidence and in-hospital treatment of STEMI for patients with comorbid depression in the current era are unknown....

Summary: | Abstract Depression has been associated with adverse outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, trends over time in the incidence and in-hospital treatment of STEMI for patients with comorbid depression in the current era are unknown. We conducted a serial, cross-sectional analysis of STEMI patients (weighted n=3,057,998) in the National Inpatient Sample from 2003-2012. We examined trends in STEMI incidence and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with and without depression. We used multivariate logistic regression to assess observed differences as well as to explore trends in in-hospital mortality. Depression was present in 153,180 (5%) of the sample. Patients with depression were more likely to be female (55% vs 37%), of white race (86% vs 78%), and had lower crude mortality (12.0% vs 14.2%; p |
