Risk prediction models for depression in patients with coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Jie Zhang, Yue Zhou, Linyu Huang, Xingling Zhang, Long Li, Chongcheng Xi

“…Common predictors included age, educational level, gender, and cardiac function classification. The area under the curve (AUC) for the models ranged from 0.772 to 0.961, indicating overall good performance; however, risk of bias was high, primarily due to issues in the analysis phase, such as inadequate handling of missing values, univariate analysis for variable selection, and lack of external validation.ConclusionDepression risk prediction models for CHD patients generally perform well, but high risk of bias and limited applicability remain concerns. …”
