Depressive symptoms at baseline or follow-up were associated with a lower likelihood of achieving remission in patients with RA and in those with PsA.
Depression is associated with lower odds of achieving remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis over 2 years of follow-up. Researchers analyzed data from two cohorts in the Netherlands to assess the impact of depression and anxiety on remission in 400 patients with RA and 367 patients with PsA.
The HADS was administered every 6 months to patients with RA and every year to those with PsA, with scores > 7 on the HADS-D and HADS-A subscales indicating the respective disorders. Patients with depression or anxiety, at any timepoint during 2 years of follow-up, were compared with those without depression or anxiety.In patients with RA and PsA, those with depression or anxiety at baseline had lower remission rates at 1 and 2 years of follow-up than in those without.
After adjusting for depression, anxiety did not show a significant association with achieving remission in patients with RA or PsA.
