Oldham MA, Lin IH, Hawkins KA, et al. - Researchers here examined if baseline depression and cognition are risk factors for decline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum‐of‐Boxes (CDR‐SB), which is a combined measure of cognition and function, 1-month post‐CABG surgery. They conducted the Neuropsychiatric Outcomes After Heart Surgery (NOAHS) study, a prospective observational cohort study, including a total of 148 patients undergoing CABG surgery, 124 (83.8%) of whom completed a 1‐month follow‐up assessment. Eighteen (14.5%) individuals had a decline in CDR‐SB. In multivariate regression, older age and depression were noted to be significantly associated with a 1‐month decline. Based on the findings, they suggest considering preoperative depression as a predictor of CDR‐SB decline 1-month post‐CABG.
