In a landmark analysis from 4 years, Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the risk of CV and total mortality by increasing levels of psychological distress: never distressed, sometimes any severity (GHQ score &gt;5), persistent mild (GHQ score &gt;5 on three or more occasions) and persistent moderate distress (GHQ score &gt;10) on three or more occasions, over a median of 12.1 (IQR 8.6\u201312.5) years.

In contrast, patients who reported persistent mild distress (n=73, 7.7%) on three or more visits, and those who met criteria for distress on only one or two assessments (n=255, 26.8%), did not have an
