Abstract
Introduction Chronic depression and anxiety can be a risk factor for coronary aArtery bypass grafting (CABG) and is an emerging factor after coronary artery disease when the patient is admitted to the hospital and after surgery. We aimed to assess the effect of Escitalopram in treating mild to moderate depressive disorder and improving the quality of life in patients undergoing CABG. Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 50 patients undergoing CABG referred to Tehran Heart Hospital from January 2021 to May 2021 and were suffering from mild to moderate depression were randomly assigned to one of the two groups of Escitalopram or placebo. The level of depression was assessed based on Beck's depression inventory and the quality-of-life status and its domains were assessed based on the SF-36 questionnaire in 2 groups. Measurements were obtained at baseline and at four and eight weeks after treatment. Chi-square, Fisher's exact, paired, and Wilcoxon tests or ANOVA were used as appropriate. Results There was no significant difference between the level of depression between the two study groups at baseline (P=0.312). There was no significant difference between the quality of life and its domains in the two study groups at baseline (P=0.607). However, the most important effect of Escitalopram was reducing depression scores in the intervention group at weeks 4 and 8 after treatment compared to the placebo group (P<0.001). The quality of life and its domains were significantly higher in the Escitalopram group eight weeks after treatment (P=0.004). The amount of drug side effects at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment had no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Escitalopram was effective in treating mild to moderate depressive disorder and improving quality of life in patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract
Background Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) after cardiosurgical interventions are well described through objective psychometric tests. However, a patient's subjective perception is essential to clinical assessment and quality of life. This study systematically evaluated patient-reported POCD between subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and heart valve replacement. Methods This study was a multicentre, prospective questionnaire survey conducted at the cardiac surgery departments at the Kerckhoff Clinic in Bad Nauheim and the University Hospital in Giessen, Germany. We included patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR), mitral valve replacement or reconstruction (MVR), and combined surgery (CABG + valve replacement [VR]) with extracorporeal circulation. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) for Self-assessment (CFQ-S), and the external assessment (CFQ-foreign [F]) were completed preoperatively, as well as at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Results A total of 491 patients were available for analyses (CABG = 182, AVR = 134, MVR = 93, CABG + VR = 82). POCD and postoperative depression increase (PODI) were observed for each surgical procedure. (At the 3-month follow-up: CFQ-S [CABG = 7.1%, AVR = 3.7%, MVR = 9.7%, CABG + VR = 9.8%]; CFQ-F [CABG = 9.9%, AVR = 9.7%, MVR = 9.7%, CABG + VR = 15.9%]; PODI [CABG = 7.7%, AVR = 9.7%, MVR = 6.5%, CABG + VR = 8.5%]. At the 12-month follow-up: CFQ-S [CABG = 6.6%, AVR = 7.5%, MVR = 15.1%, CABG + VR = 7.3%]; CFQ-F [CABG = 7.1%, AVR = 14.9%, MVR = 10.8%, CABG + VR = 9.8%]; PODI [CABG = 10.4%, AVR = 11.2%, MVR = 6.5%, CABG + VR = 4.9%]). No significant between-group effects were observed for the CFQ-S, CFQ-F, or the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Conclusions For clinicians, paying attention to patients' self-reported experiences of reduced cognitive function and symptoms of depression following cardiac surgery is important. Such reporting is an indication that interventions such as cognitive training or psychotherapy should be considered.

Chang HC, Lu HY, Guo YC, Lin CY, Chen SJ, Gau SY. Depression risk in chronic tonsillitis patients underwent tonsillectomy: a global federated health network analysis. Int J Med Sci 2024; 21:949-957. [PMID: 38616998 PMCID: PMC11008477 DOI: 10.7150/ijms.93977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Tonsillectomy is a common surgery in the US, with possible postoperative complications. While small studies indicate postoperative depressive symptoms may occur, large-scale evidence is lacking on the tonsillectomy-depression link. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX US collaborative network, offering de-identified electronic health data from 59 collaborative healthcare organizations (HCOs) in the United States. In this study, people being diagnosed of chronic tonsillitis between January 2005 and December 2017 were enrolled. Patients deceased, with previous record of cancers or psychiatric events before index date were excluded. 14,874 chronic tonsillitis patients undergoing tonsillectomy were propensity score matched 1:1 to controls for age, sex, and race. New-onset depression risks were evaluated over 5 years post-tonsillectomy and stratified by age and sex. Confounders were adjusted for including demographics, medications, comorbidities and socioeconomic statuses. Results: After matching, the difference of key baseline characteristics including age, sex, comedications status and obesity status was insignificant between tonsillectomy and non-tonsillectomy groups. Tonsillectomy had a 1.29 times higher 5-year depression risk versus matched controls (95% CI, 1.19-1.40), with elevated risks seen at 1 year (HR=1.51; 95% CI, 1.28-1.79) and 3 years (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.43). By stratifications, risks were increased for both males (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.08-1.57) and females (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.42), and significantly higher in ages 18-64 years (HR=1.37; 1.26-1.49), but no significance observed for those 65 years and older. After performing sensitivity analyses and applying washout periods of 6, 12, and 36 months, the outcome remained consistent with unadjusted results. Conclusion: This real-world analysis found tonsillectomy was associated with a 30% higher 5-year depression risk versus matched non-tonsillectomy patients with chronic tonsillitis. Further mechanistic research is needed to clarify the pathophysiologic association between depression and tonsillectomy. Depression is not commonly mentioned in the current post-tonsillectomy care realm; however, the outcome of our study emphasized the possibility of these suffering condition after operation. Attention to psychological impacts following tonsillectomy is warranted to support patient well-being, leading to better management of post-tonsillectomy individuals.

Hesperidin reduces depressive symptoms in post-coronary artery bypass graft patients with mild depression. Food Sci Nutr 2023; 11:7742-7750. [PMID: 38107143 PMCID: PMC10724602 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that hesperidin may have beneficial effects on depression; however, to the best of our knowledge, no clinical trial has yet been conducted in this area. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to determine the effects of hesperidin on depression, serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and serum cortisol levels in post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Toward this goal, 73 post-CABG patients with depression symptoms were enrolled. The participants were randomly divided into two groups to receive either 200 mg/day hesperidin (n = 38) or placebo (n = 35) for 12 weeks. Depressive symptoms, serum BDNF, and cortisol levels were then assessed at the baseline and after intervention. Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was also used to determine the severity of depression. Sixty-six patients completed the trial. Hesperidin decreased depression severity after 12 weeks, as compared to placebo (p = .004), but serum BDNF and cortisol were not statistically significantly different in the two groups after the intervention. Subgroup analyses also showed that, while in the patients with mild depression, the score of BDI-II was significantly different in the hesperidin and placebo groups after intervention; there was no difference in the severity of depression between the two groups in patients with moderate-to-severe depression. To conclude, a dose of 200 mg/day hesperidin may reduce depressive symptoms after 12 weeks in post-CABG patients with mild depression.
