Abstract：Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of depression after implantation of artificial permanent pacemaker.Methods The patients (n=40) with implantation of artificial permanent pacemaker were chosen from Sept. 2013 to June 2014. All patients were given 24-item questionnaire of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) before and after implantation, and then divided into depression group (n=15) and non-depression group (n=25) after the implantation. The data of 2 groups were compared including age, sex, marriage, income, degree of education, hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmia, negative life events, 2 or more complications, smoking and implantation time. The risk factors of depression after implantation were analyzed.Results Of 40 patients, 15 had depression and incidence was 37.5%. The comparison in income, negative life events, arrhythmia and 2 or more complications showed statistical difference (allP<0.05) between 2 groups, and then these 4 possible risk factors were given Logistic regression analysis. The results showed that income (OR=62.58, 95%CI: 1.16~3.54), negative life events (OR=218.19, 95%CI: 2.13~4.25) and arrhythmia (OR=62.62, 95%CI: 1.13~2.78) were risk factors of depression after implantation.Conclusion The incidence of depression is 37.5% after implantation of artificial permanent pacemaker, and risk factors are income, negative life events and arrhythmia.
