Abstract
Background: Although the risk of depression is well-known in the patients with kidney dysfunction, especially at the late stages, little is known about the exact point at which the decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) begins to significantly increase the risk of depression. In the present study, we analysed a nationwide epidemiological dataset to investigate the dose-dependent association between baseline eGFR and a future risk of developing depression in a general population.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 1,518,885 individuals (male: 46.3%) without a history of depression identified between April 2014 and November 2022 within a nationwide epidemiological database, provided by DeSC Healthcare (Tokyo, Japan). We investigated the association of eGFR with the incidence of depression using Cox regression analyses and also conducted cubic spline analysis to investigate the dose-dependent association between eGFR and depression.
Results: In the mean follow-up of 1218 ± 693 days, 45,878 cases (3.0% for total participants, 2.6% for men and 3.3% for women) of depression were recorded. The risk of depression increased with the eGFR decline as well as the presence of proteinuria. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed the hazard ratio (95% CI) of depression in each kidney function category (eGFR ≥90, 60-89, 45-59, 30-44, 15-29, and < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2) was 1.14 (1.11-1.17), 1 (reference), 1.11 (1.08-1.14), 1.51 (1.43-1.59), 1.77 (1.57-1.99) and 1.77 (1.26-2.50), respectively. In the cubic spline analysis, the risk of depression continued to increase monotonically as the eGFR declined when the eGFR fell below approximately 65 mL/min/1.73 m2.
Conclusions: Our analysis using a large-scale epidemiological dataset presented the dose-dependent association between eGFR decline and the risk of depression, which highlights the importance of incorporating mental health assessments into the routine care of patients with kidney dysfunction, regardless of the stage of their disease.
期刊介绍:
EJCI considers any original contribution from the most sophisticated basic molecular sciences to applied clinical and translational research and evidence-based medicine across a broad range of subspecialties. The EJCI publishes reports of high-quality research that pertain to the genetic, molecular, cellular, or physiological basis of human biology and disease, as well as research that addresses prevalence, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of disease. We are primarily interested in studies directly pertinent to humans, but submission of robust in vitro and animal work is also encouraged. Interdisciplinary work and research using innovative methods and combinations of laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological methodologies and techniques is of great interest to the journal. Several categories of manuscripts (for detailed description see below) are considered: editorials, original articles (also including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses), reviews (narrative reviews), opinion articles (including debates, perspectives and commentaries); and letters to the Editor.
