BACKGROUND: Depression is common after a cancer diagnosis and is associated with
an increased mortality, but it is unclear whether depression occurring before the
cancer diagnosis affects cancer mortality. We aimed to study cancer mortality of
people treated with antidepressants before cancer diagnosis. METHODS AND
FINDINGS: We conducted a population based cohort study of all adults diagnosed
with cancer between January 2003 and December 2010 in Denmark (N = 201,662). We
obtained information on cancer from the Danish Cancer Registry, on the day of
death from the Danish Civil Registry, and on redeemed antidepressants from the
Danish National Prescription Registry. Current users of antidepressants were
defined as those who redeemed the latest prescription of antidepressant 0-4
months before cancer diagnosis (irrespective of earlier prescriptions), and
former users as those who redeemed the latest prescription five or more months
before cancer diagnosis. We estimated an all-cause one-year mortality rate ratio
(MRR) and a conditional five-year MRR for patients who survived the first year
after cancer diagnosis and confidence interval (CI) using a Cox proportional
hazards regression model. Overall, 33,111 (16.4%) patients redeemed at least one
antidepressant prescription in the three years before cancer diagnosis of whom
21,851 (10.8%) were current users at the time of cancer diagnosis. Current
antidepressant users had a 32% higher one-year mortality (MRR = 1.32, 95% CI:
1.29-1.35) and a 22% higher conditional five-year mortality (MRR = 1.22, 95% CI:
1.17-1.26) if patients survived the first year after the cancer diagnosis than
patients not redeeming antidepressants. The one-year mortality was particularly
high for patients who initiated antidepressant treatment within four months
before cancer diagnosis (MRR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.47-1.61). Former users had no
increased cancer mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Initiation of antidepressive treatment
prior to cancer diagnosis is common and is associated with an increased
mortality.
