{"doi":"10.1016/j.jacadv.2023.100794","title":"Psychological Distress and the Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Psychological distress is a recognized risk factor in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but its clinical significance is unclear. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine if an index of psychological distress is independently associated with adverse outcomes and significantly contributes to risk prediction. METHODS: Pooled analysis of 2 prospective cohort studies of patients with stable CHD (N = 891). A psychological distress score was constructed using measures of depression, anxiety, anger, perceived stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder, measured at baseline. The study endpoint included cardiovascular death or first or recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction or hospitalization for heart failure at 5.9 years. RESULTS: In both cohorts, first and recurrent events occurred more often among those in the highest tertile of distress score than those in the lowest tertile. After combining the 2 cohorts, compared with the lowest tertile, the hazards ratio for having a distress score in the highest tertile was 2.27 (95% CI: 1.69-3.06), and for the middle tertile, it was 1.52 (95% CI: 1.10-2.08). Adjustment for demographics and clinical risk factors only slightly weakened the associations. When the distress score was added to a traditional clinical risk model, C-statistic, net reclassification index, and integrative discrimination index all significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with CHD, a composite measure of psychological distress was significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse events and significantly improved risk prediction.","journal":"JACC Advances","year":2023,"id":323543,"datarank":0.5456379239589579,"base_score":3.6375861597263857,"endowment":3.6375861597263857,"self_citation_contribution":0.5456379239589579,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.5456379239589579,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":37,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9558,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":328669,"name":"Kasra Moazzami","orcid":"0000-0003-0328-2050","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":311866,"name":"Zakaria Almuwaqqat","orcid":"0000-0001-6606-1031","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":330184,"name":"An Young","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":785725,"name":"Alexis K.
