Association of baseline low emotional support with poor risk factor management adherence: overall and stratified by depressive symptoms. Abbreviations: CI confidence interval; ES emotional support. ^aAccounts for site (using a random effect) and repeated adherence measures over time (1, 6, 12 months). ^bAccounts for all of the above and risk adjusts for sociodemographics (age, sex, race, marital status, education, primary insurance, avoiding health care because of cost), clinical factors (prior coronary artery disease [myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention], diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, prior stroke, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, chronic lung disease, smoking status, alcohol use, obesity, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, final myocardial infarction diagnosis), in-hospital care (diagnostic catheterization, revascularization [coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention]), and outpatient care (mean number of relevant risk factor management instructions recalled by patient during follow-up, visited cardiologist during follow-up, visited primary care physician during follow-up). The overall model additionally adjusts for depressive symptoms. ^cPoor adherence defined as “very carefully” adhering to <50% of reported risk factor management instructions
