Figure 1. Depressive Symptom Group during study follow-up.

Figure 1

The top panel represents patients with 0–3 depression symptoms at discharge (n=719). The bottom panel represents patients with 4–10 depression symptoms at hospital discharge (n=410). Data shown are actual means (dots) and medians (horizontal bars) of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD) Scale symptoms over time. The mean number of depressive symptoms for the Low-Low group are 1.30, 1.14, 1.16, 1.02, and 0.77; for the Low-High group, 1.79, 2.75, 2.86, 2.46, 5.37; for the High-High group, 5.92, 4.84, 4.72, 4.40, and 5.32; and for the High-Low group, 5.32, 2.33, 2.06, 1.55, and 1.36,, at discharge, 1 month, 3 months, 6months, and 1 year, respectively. Boxes represent the interquartile range of the number of depressive symptoms for each group over time. The width of each box is proportional to the number of patients. Vertical dashed lines represent the range of values encompassing 5% to 95% of depressive symptoms for each group over time.
