Depressive symptoms are predictors of shorter cardiac event-free survival, whereas increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with longer cardiac event-free survival in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the impact of BMI on the link between depressive symptoms and cardiac event-free survival is unexplored. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between depressive symptoms and cardiac event-free survival differs among HF patients stratified by BMI tertiles.
A total of 297 outpatients with HF completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess depressive symptoms. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Patients were followed for 1 year to determine cardiac event-free survival. Cox proportional hazard regression with survival curves was used to determine the relationships among depressive symptoms, BMI, and cardiac event-free survival.
Both depressive symptoms (P < .001) and lower BMI (P = .002) are independent predictors of shorter cardiac event-free survival after controlling for age, gender, etiology, total comorbidity scores, ejection fraction, New York Heart Association functional class, and prescribed medications. Patients with depressive symptoms had shorter cardiac event-free survival compared with patients without depressive symptoms in the lowest (P = .001) and middle (P = .036) BMI tertiles. There was no difference in cardiac event-free survival between patients with and without depressive symptoms in the highest tertile (P = .894).
Higher BMI has a protective role in the adverse effect of depressive symptoms on health outcomes in patients with HF.
抑郁症状是心脏无事件生存期较短的预测因素,而体重指数(BMI)升高与心力衰竭(HF)患者较长的心脏无事件生存期相关。然而,BMI对抑郁症状与心脏无事件生存期之间联系的影响尚未得到探讨。本研究的目的是确定在按BMI三分位数分层的HF患者中,抑郁症状与心脏无事件生存期之间的关系是否存在差异。
共有297例HF门诊患者完成了患者健康问卷-9以评估抑郁症状。BMI计算为体重(千克)除以身高(米)的平方。对患者进行1年随访以确定心脏无事件生存期。采用Cox比例风险回归和生存曲线来确定抑郁症状、BMI和心脏无事件生存期之间的关系。
在控制年龄、性别、病因、总合并症评分、射血分数、纽约心脏协会功能分级和处方药物后,抑郁症状(P <.001)和较低的BMI(P =.002)都是心脏无事件生存期较短的独立预测因素。在最低(P =.001)和中间(P =.036)BMI三分位数中,有抑郁症状的患者与无抑郁症状的患者相比,心脏无事件生存期较短。在最高三分位数中,有抑郁症状和无抑郁症状的患者之间的心脏无事件生存期没有差异(P =.894)。
较高的BMI对HF患者抑郁症状对健康结局的不利影响具有保护作用。
