Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction (ACEF) Score is Associated with the Presence of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in PCI Patients.

Background: A significant proportion of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have or develop comorbid depression and/or anxiety symptoms, which are associated with adverse events. The age, creatinine, and ejection fraction (ACEF) score is a good predictor for the prognostic assessment of certain cardiac diseases. But it has never been used to predict post-PCI depression and anxiety symptoms.
