Condition Prevalence* of depression OR for depression (95 % CI) p value Prevalence of depression screening
COPD 14 1.64 (1.5, 1.8) < 0.0001 0.76
Arthritis 13 1.42 (1.3, 1.5) < 0.0001 0.68
CHF 13 1.34 (1.1, 1.6) < 0.0001 1.1
Hypertension 11 1.30 (1.2, 1.4) < 0.0001 0.87
Diabetes 11 1.12 (1.03, 1.2) 0.008 0.90
Ischemic Heart Disease 10 0.95 (.84, 1.07) 0.36 0.84
Chronic Renal Failure 8 0.83 (.60, 1.1) 0.24 0.68

Adjusted odds ratio for current comorbid depression and prevalence of depression screening with arthritis are in bold

*Prevalence is per 100 visits

Adjusted for age, gender, race (white, black, other), geographic region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West), and other chronic conditions (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD], Congestive Heart Failure [CHF], Arthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Ischemic Heart Disease). Reference group is general population without the chronic condition

Prevalence is per 100 visits among patients without depression
