Introduction Anxio-depressive disorders represent one of the psychiatric manifestations most frequently observed in hospitalized patients. Different factors can be involved in the onset or worsening of these disorders. Purpose The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of of anxiety and depression in hospitalized cardiology patients and to determine their predictors. Methods This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a prospective data collection that included 150 patients hospitalized in the cardiology department of Habib Thameur hospital between November and December 2016. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety Depression questionnaire validated in Arabic. Results Patients mean age was 60 ± 11.2 years with a gender ratio of 2.7. Seventy-nine percent of the patients had a school education, 85.3% were married and 46% were active workers. Cardiovascular risk factors were dominated by arterial hypertension found in 56.7% of patients, followed by diabetes in 55.3%, dyslipidemia in 54.7% and active smoking in 43.3%. The most frequent reason for hospitalization was acute coronary syndrome, which was found in 52.7% of cases. The mean length of hospital stay was 13.7 ± 9.3 days. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms was 55.3% and 40%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age over 65 and active smoking were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms (OR = 0.345, 95% CI 0.150-0.790; p = 0.012 and OR = 0.44, 95% CI, respectively 0.194-0.90; p = 0.045). Independent factors significantly associated with depression symptoms in hospitalized cardiology patients were age greater than 65 years and a hospital stay of more than 7 days (OR = 0.171, respectively, 95% CI 0.067-0.438; p = 0.0001 and OR = 0.462, 95% CI 0.08-0.466; p = 0.001). Conclusion Given the high prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients hospitalized in cardiology, the systematic identification of the factors associated with these disorders would facilitate screening and ensure their early management. |
