Optimism has been associated with a lower risk of rehospitalization after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but little is known about how optimism affects treatment depression in post-CABG patients.Using data from collaborative care intervention trial for depression, we conducted exploratory post hoc analyses 284 depressed patients (2-week posthospitalization score the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire ≥ 10) and 146 controls without who completed Life Orientation Test - Revised...
Background Yoga and physical exercise have been used as adjunctive intervention for cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia (SZ), but controlled comparisons are lacking. Aims A single-blind randomised trial was designed to evaluate whether yoga training or enhance functions SZ, based on a prior pilot study. Methods Consenting, clinically stable, adult outpatients with SZ ( n =286) completed baseline assessments were treatment usual (TAU), supervised TAU (YT) (PE). Based the study, primary...
Objective: To describe the relationship between pain and depression on recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A secondary data analysis 453 depressed nondepressed post-CABG patients enrolled in a randomized, controlled, effectiveness trial of telephone-delivered collaborative care for depression. Outcome measures were collected from March 2004 to September 2007 included pain, physical function, mood symptoms. Results: Depressed (baseline Patient Health...
To determine the 12-month cost-effectiveness of a collaborative care (CC) program for treating depression following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery versus physicians' usual (UC).We obtained 12 continuous months Medicare and private medical insurance claims data on 189 patients who screened positive CABG surgery, met criteria when reassessed by telephone 2 weeks hospitalization (nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire ≥10) were randomized to either an 8-month centralized,...
Despite the effectiveness of existing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies, a need remains for further treatment options to improve response rates and/or reduce injection or monitoring frequency in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).To evaluate efficacy and safety brolucizumab vs aflibercept dosed every 4 weeks participants DME.This 52-week, double-masked, phase 3 randomized clinical trial included treatment-naive adults who had previously received anti-VEGF...
Between-group comparisons often entail many correlated response variables. The multivariate linear model, with its assumption of normality, is the accepted standard tool for these tests. When this violated, nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis (MKW) test frequently used. However, requires complete cases no missing values in Deletion likely leads to inefficient statistical inference. Here we extend MKW retain information from partially-observed cases. Results simulated studies and analysis real data...
