Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the association between Type D personality and prognoses in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients by mode of endpoints, age, and methodological debates to explain substantial heterogeneity among Type D studies.
Design: The prospective study was designed to recruit 590 stable CAD patients in Taiwan. Main outcome measures: Demographic and clinical characteristics, and the 14-item Type D scale-Taiwanese version were recorded at discharge.
Results: Hierarchical logistic regression analyses showed, regardless of the methodological debates, Type D personality was significantly associated with MACEs though not non-cardiac outcomes in stable CAD patients after adjusting for possible confounders. Furthermore, Type D personality was especially associated with MACEs in stable CAD patients with younger age (<65 y), rather than older age (≥65 y). Subgroup analysis also showed the adverse effect of Type D personality on MACEs was larger among males, those living in the rural region, those with PTCA or stent, those with heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and those who were smokers.
Conclusions: Regardless of whether the methodological debate is dichotomous or continuous, Type D personality was significantly associated with MACEs in stable CAD patients, some of whom had younger age, were males, smokers, or had comorbidities.

Psychology & Health promotes the study and application of psychological approaches to health and illness. The contents include work on psychological aspects of physical illness, treatment processes and recovery; psychosocial factors in the aetiology of physical illnesses; health attitudes and behaviour, including prevention; the individual-health care system interface particularly communication and psychologically-based interventions. The journal publishes original research, and accepts not only papers describing rigorous empirical work, including meta-analyses, but also those outlining new psychological approaches and interventions in health-related fields.
