Description
Yang and colleagues published in twenty twenty-four a cohort study of depression paths in heart patients doing rehabilitation at home. Depression can undermine recovery after heart disease. The team followed three hundred forty-six patients in China for six months. Monthly questionnaires measured depression during home-based cardiac rehabilitation. Statistical modeling sorted patients into distinct paths over time. The team then linked those paths to hospital readmission for heart problems.
Four paths appeared, from never depressed to depressed throughout. Nearly half the patients stayed free of depression. Two paths carried much higher readmission risk: late-onset and sustained depression. The authors combined them into a high-risk pattern. Schooling, chronic disease count, resilience, support, and anxiety predicted that pattern. Spotting those factors early could guide timely mental health care.
