6. Depressive disorder in patients with heart failure treated at the Heart Institute of Bach Mai Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
This is a cross-sectional descriptive study of 128 patients with heart failure treated at The Heart Institute of Bach Mai Hospital. Results: The mean age of heart failure patients with depression was higher than heart failure patients without depression (p < 0.05). 65 years old patients or older had 2.6 times higher risk of having depression than patients who were under 65 years old. Women had heart failure more often than men (51.6% vs 48.4%) and were 2.1 times more likely to have depression than men. Widowed patients were 4.9 times more likely to have depression than those living with a spouse. Patients with grade IV heart failure had a higher risk of depression than patients with grade II heart failure, and patients suffered heart failure for 5 to 10 years had a 5.1 times higher risk of depression than patients with heart failure in less than 1 month. Patients who needed total support had a 8.2 times higher risk of depression than those who did not need any support. Finally, patients who had lower ability or did not have the ability to perform their past jobs had a higher risk of depression, (3.3 and 14. 4 times respectively) than patients who were still able to do their jobs.
