Depression in myocardial infarction: Prevalence and clinical outcomes

Statement of the Problem

: Depression is common in the aftermath of Myocardial Infarction (MI) and may not only lead to

impaired long-term quality of life, but also cause increased mortality among patients with MI. The reported prevalence of

depression among patients with MI varied considerably across studies, for which a pooled prevalence was obtained in the only

1 meta-analysis conducted in March 2004. Subsequently, numerous relevant studies have been published, indicating the need

for an update on the pooled prevalence. Therefore, this study was aimed at updating the pooled prevalence of depression among

patients with MI.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation

: A comprehensive literature search in 3 electronic databases, PubMed, Embase, and

PsycINFO, was performed in April 2018. The heterogeneity across studies was examined by the Cochran’s Q test and quantified

by the I2 statistic. If significant heterogeneity was observed, meta-regression analyses and subgroup analyses were performed to

identify the source of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by a funnel plot and verified by the Egger’s and Begg’s tests.

Findings

: Nineteen eligible studies conducted in 10 countries were included, which consisted of 12,315 patients with MI, among

whom 3818 were identified with depression. High heterogeneity was observed across the eligible studies (I2=98.4%), with the

reported prevalence of depression ranging from9.17%to 65.88%. The pooled prevalence of depression among patients with MI

was 28.70% (95%CI: 22.39–35.46%) by a random effects model. Subgroup analyses showed that the pooled prevalence differed

significantly by region, tool used to identify depression, study quality, sex, race, anterior MI, and diabetes status (P<.05).

Conclusion & Significance

: Given the high pooled prevalence of depression found in this study and the association between

depression and adverse health outcomes among patients with MI, more psychological resources including early assessment and

effective treatment of depression should be allocated to patients with MI.
