Table 3.

5-year cardiovascular costs by depression status and present/absence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD).

Depression treatment history

Antidepressant use

Yes (n = 228) No (n = 640) Yes (n = 292) No (n = 362) Yes (n = 166) No (n = 702)

No significant CAD (mean, 95% confidence interval) $29,300 ($21,603–$36,996) $16,179 ($11,421–$20,938) $25,771 ($20,016–$31,525) $16,528 ($11,454–$21,601) $34,716 ($25,439–$44,000) $16,357 ($11,901–$20,814)

Significant CAD (mean, 95% confidence interval) $51,227 ($39,585–$62,868) $38,516 ($32,864–$44,168) $41,862 ($32,616–$51,109) $33,932 ($25,396–$42,468) $43,567 ($30,977–$56,159) $40,380 ($34,885–$45,875)

Significant CAD was defined as the presence of at least one coronary occlusion ≥50% from the participant’s coronary angiogram results.

Differences between depressed and non-depressed participants were statistically reliable at p<.05 among those with no evidence of significant CAD. Statistical tests were completed using log transformations of the table data to adjust for variable skewing.
