Comorbid anxiety and depression = HADS-A ≥ 8 and HADS-D ≥ 8; Early convalescence = 2–4 months post-event; Late convalescence = 6–12 months post-event; CI, confidence intervals; SES, socioeconomic status. Statistical test, chi-square. Significance level set at p < 0.1. All predictors are presented in descending order in terms of odds ratios. For early convalescence associations with living alone, diabetes, sex, and event type were p ≥ 0.1. For late convalescence associations with obesity, sex, and event type were p ≥ 0.1.
