Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Telephone-delivered collaborative care for treating post-CABG depression: a randomized controlled trial.
Depressive symptoms commonly follow coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and are associated with less positive clinical outcomes. ⋯ Compared with usual care, telephone-delivered collaborative care for treatment of post-CABG depression resulted in improved HRQL, physical functioning, and mood symptoms at 8-month follow-up.
