Depressive symptoms can negatively influence patient outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Preoperative depressive symptoms can be associated with a longer hospitalization. Perceived control moderates the effect of anxiety on length of stay (LOS) among CABG patients, but its effect on depressive symptoms and LOS is not well studied. This study tests whether perceived control moderates the relationship between depressive symptoms and LOS among patients following CABG.
