Impact of peer support on acute care visits and hospitalizations for individuals with diabetes and depressive symptoms: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.
This study examined the impact of peer support on the number of acute care visits and hospitalizations for individuals with diabetes with and without depressive symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was conducted from 2010-2012. One year of peer support was given to intervention participants, and the usual care to control participants. A Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) was given to participants to assess depression symptoms at the beginning of the trial, at 6 months and then at 12 months. There was a lower rate of acute care visits and hospitalizations in those patients with depressive symptoms in the intervention group, but it made no difference for individuals without depressive symptoms.

The impact of an adolescent depressive disorders clinical pathway on healthcare utilization.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between level of adherence to an adolescent depressive disorders inpatient clinical pathway with psychiatric patients’ length of stay (LOS), cost, and readmissions. Patients in the high-adherence category were found to have significantly longer LOS and higher costs when compared to those in the low-adherence category. The authors conclude that understanding which of the care processes within the pathway are most cost-effective for improving patient-centered outcomes requires further investigation.

The association between major depressive disorder and outcomes in older veterans hospitalized with pneumonia.
The aim of this study was to examine the association between depression and outcomes, including mortality and intensive care unit admission, in veterans hospitalized with pneumonia. It found that patients with untreated depression had a significantly higher 30-day and 90-day mortality, as well as significantly higher intensive care unit admission rates, compared to patients with treated depression.
