OBJECTIVES: The implementation of EMR allowed us to evaluate the impact of depression on cancer patients. METHODS: A retrospective review of EMR of cancer patients in UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center (2011-2013). All diagnoses were defined by ICD-9 codes at the date of cancer diagnosis. Cox proportional hazard analysis and negative binomial modeling were performed to evaluate predictors of mortality, number of emergency room (ER) visits, hospitalizations, readmissions and length of stay in the hospital (LOS). The analyses were adjusted for race, age of diagnosis with cancer, gender, number of cancers, cancer type, comorbidity conditions, status of metastasis, insurance types, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).
