Received Date: Jan 01, 2024 / Published Date: Jan 30, 2024
Abstract
This longitudinal study investigates the implications of depression screening in the aftermath of cardiac surgery over a six-month period. Employing standardized assessments and interviews, the research explores the relationships between postoperative depression, subsequent cardiac events, hospital readmissions, changes in quality of life, and mental health outcomes. Preliminary findings reveal a correlation between post-surgical depression and an elevated risk of cardiac events and readmissions. The study emphasizes the need for integrated mental health care in cardiac surgery recovery, offering insights to refine postoperative protocols and enhance patient well-being.
