Background  Depression and anxiety are two common mood problems among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are associated with poor cardiac prognoses. The comorbidity of depression and anxiety is considered to be a more severe psychological status than non-comorbid mood disorders. However, little is known about the relationship between depression or anxiety and noncardiac readmission. We conducted a prospective study on the prognostic impact of depression, anxiety, and the comorbidity of the two among angina pectoris (AP) patients.    Method  In this prospective study, 443 patients with AP were included in the analysis. Follow-up assessments were performed 1 year, and 2 years after patient discharges. Clinical outcomes of interest included noncardiac readmission, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and composite events. Depression and anxiety symptom scores derived from the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and generalised anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire were used to assess mood symptoms at baseline. Participants with symptom scores of ≥10 on both the depression and anxiety questionnaires formed the clinical comorbidity subgroup. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the impact of individual mood symptom and comorbidity on clinical outcomes.    Results  Among all the AP patients, 172 (38. 9%) were determined to have depression symptoms, 127 (28.7%) patients had anxiety symptoms and 71 (16.0%) patients suffered from their comorbidity. After controlling covariates, we found that patients who endured clinical depression (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06–5.33,  p  = 0.035) and anxiety ([HR] 2.85, 95% [CI] 1.10–7.45,  p  = 0.032) had a high risk of noncardiac readmission. Compared to participants with no mood symptoms, those with clinical comorbidity of depression and anxiety presented a greater risk of noncardiac readmission ([HR] 2.91, 95% [CI] 1.03–8.18,  p  = 0.043) MACEs ([HR] 2.38, 95% [CI] 1.11–5.10,  p  = 0.025) and composite event ([HR] 2.52, 95% [CI] 1.35–4.69,  p  = 0.004).    Conclusion  Depression and anxiety were found to have predictive value for noncardiac readmission among patients with AP. Furthermore, prognoses were found to be worse for patients with comorbidity of depression and anxiety than those with single mood symptom. Additional attention needs to be focused on the initial identification and long-term monitoring of mood symptom comorbidity.
