PG - 110718 LID - S0022-3999(22)00003-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2022.110718 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The Partial-Oral versus Intravenous Antibiotic Treatment of Endocarditis Trial (POET) found that partial-oral outpatient treatment was non-inferior to conventional in-hospital intravenous treatment in patients with left-sided infective endocarditis. We examined the impact of treatment strategy on levels of anxiety and depression. METHODS: Patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at randomization, at antibiotic completion, and after month 3 and month 6. Changes in anxiety and depression (each subdimension 0-21, high scores indicating worse) were calculated using a repeated measure analysis of covariance model with primary assessment after 6 months. Change in score of 1.7 represented a minimal clinical important difference (MCID). RESULTS: Among the 400 patients enrolled in the POET trial, 263 (66%) completed HADS at randomization with reassessment rates of 86-87% at the three subsequent timepoints. Patients in the partial-oral group and the intravenous group had similar improvements after 6 months in levels of anxiety (-1.8 versus -1.6, P = 0.62) and depression (-2.1 versus -1.9, P = 0.63), although patients in the partial-oral group had numerically lower levels of anxiety and depression throughout. An improvement in MCID scores after 6 months was reported by 47% versus 45% (p = 0.80) patients for anxiety and by 51% versus 54% (p = 0.70) for depression. CONCLUSION: Patients with endocarditis receiving partial-oral outpatient treatment reported similar significant improvements in anxiety and depression at 6 months, as compared to conventionally treated, but numerically lower levels throughout. These findings support the usefulness of partial-oral treatment. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
