Abstract
To study the features of the psychoemotional status in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in the long term after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify factors affecting the development of clinically pronounced anxiety and depressive disorders. Psychoemotional status was analyzed in 151 patients in the long term after PTE using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Assessment (GAD-7) and the Beck Depression Inventory. The number of patients who underwent COVID-19 was recorded and the functional status scale of the patient who underwent COVID-19 (PCFS) was evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of clinically pronounced depression and GAD in the long-term period after surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinically significant GAD and depression in the long-term period after PTE during the COVID-19 pandemic were observed in 11 and 17.8% of patients, respectively. Clinically pronounced depression is associated with older age, chronic cerebral circulatory insufficiency and pronounced post COVID-19 disorders of functional status according to PCFS. The development of GAD symptoms is influenced by cardiopulmonary insufficiency in the hospital period after PTE. The combination of anxiety and depression symptoms is correlated with older age. In patients in the long term after PTE during the COVID-19 pandemic, the symptoms of GAD and depression were detected in 11 and 17.8% of cases, respectively. The complicated course of cardiac surgery has shown a negative impact on the development of GAD in the long term after surgery. The factors influencing the development of clinically pronounced depression were older age, chronic cerebral circulatory insufficiency and pronounced post COVID-19 disorders of functional status.
