Methods Data of 204 patients with UA who were admitted in our hospital from January of 2011 to January of 2012 were collected.

Comparative analysis of influencing factors such as age, gender, educational level, type of health insurance, etc. was conducted. Results Of all the subjects, 67 cases(32.8%) were identified as anxiety, 46(22.5%) as depression. Patients of UA with anxiety were more frequently seen in femal, with history of hypertension. Patients of UA with depression were more frequently seen in female, lower education level, those whose medical reimbursement covered ≤40% of medical expenses and with history of diabetes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed lower education level and with history of diabetes were the major risk factors on depression.
