Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Trait and state anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), CHD vs acquired heart disease
T[171]
2.62
P = 0.001
- No difference in state anxiety between groups
- t[158.65] = 1.37, P = 0.17, d = 0.18
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Age · younger with CHD
P < 0.001
Prior cardiac surgeries
- More cardiac surgeries with CHD
- P < 0.001
Predictors of anxiety (LASSO regression)
- State anxiety singularly associated with trait anxiety
- Trait anxiety negatively associated with age and positively associated with state anxiety and financial stress
