Healio (4/14, Schaffer) reported, “Adults who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and developed depression or anxiety within one year were 1.4 times more likely to die during follow-up compared with those without a mental health diagnosis, researchers reported” in findings published online April 12 in JAMA Network Open.
According to Psychiatric News (4/14), investigators examined “data from the claims records of 2,373 adults…who were hospitalized after cardiac arrest between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2015, and who survived for at least one year.”
