The objective of this study was to determine whether type 2 diabetes status is associated with an increased likelihood of depressed mood and anxiety in patients attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and to explore predictors of depression and anxiety after CR completion in patients with diabetes.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients who completed a 12-wk CR program between 2002 and 2016. Patients were classified as reporting normal-to-mild or moderate-to-severe symptoms of depression and anxiety using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Logistic regression models were used to compare predictors of depression and anxiety prior to CR enrollment and investigate predictors of post-CR HADS scores among a subset of patients with diabetes.

Results:

Data from 6746 patients (mean age 61±11 yr, 18% female, 18% with diabetes) were analyzed. After controlling …
