Depression in emergency department patients and association with health care utilization.
Depression is one of the most common illnesses in the United States, with increased prevalence among people with lower socioeconomic status and chronic mental illness who often seek care in the emergency department (ED). The investigators sought to estimate the rate and severity of major depressive disorder (MDD) in a nonpsychiatric ED population and its association with subsequent ED visits and hospitalizations.

A systematic review of the association between depression and health care utilization in children and adults with sickle cell disease.
The authors sought to determine whether depression or depressive symptoms are associated with health care utilization among children and adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). They found that, overall, depressive symptoms are common in SCD and may increase risk for poor outcomes including health care utilization. They further found a modest association between depression and health care utilization in SCD.
