    Abstract Background: Depression is common among patients with heart failure (HF) and can impact patients' outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the rates of psychotherapy referrals for patients with HF with depression.
    Methods and results: Using the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 2008 to 2018, we examined visits for patients with depression and concurrent HF or coronary artery disease. We estimated the likelihood of referral for psychotherapy using survey weights to provide nationally representative estimates. Among 1797 visits for patients with HF or coronary artery disease and depression, only 9.4% (95% confidence interval 7.2%-12.2%) were referred for psychotherapy, including mental health counseling and stress management. Rates of referral were lowest among patients with depression and HF at 7.5% (95% confidence interval 4.1%-13.2%). The odds of referral decreased over the years from 2008 to 2018 (odds ratio per additional year 0.87, 95% confidence interval 0.77-0.98, P = .022), with referral rates in 2008 of 12.8% compared with 4.8% in 2018.
    Conclusions: In this nationally representative study of ambulatory visits, patients with HF and depression were referred for psychotherapy in only 7.5% of visits and referral rates have decreased over the years. Magnifying the value of psychotherapy and increasing referral rates are essential steps to improve care for patients with HF with depression.

    Abstract Background and aims: Pain is the hallmark of sickle cell anemia (SCA), presenting as recurrent acute events or chronic pain. Central sensitization, or enhanced excitability of the central nervous system, alters pain processing and contributes to the maintenance of chronic pain. Individuals with SCA demonstrate enhanced sensitivity to painful stimuli however central mechanisms of pain have not been fully explored. We hypothesized that adults with SCA would show evidence of central sensitization as observed in other diseases of chronic pain.
    Methods: We conducted a prospective study of static and dynamic quantitative sensory tests in 30 adults with SCA and 30 matched controls.
    Results: Static thermal testing using cold stimuli showed lower pain thresholds (p=0.04) and tolerance (p=0.04) in sickle cell subjects, but not for heat. However, SCA subjects reported higher pain ratings with random heat pulses (p<0.0001) and change in scores with temporal summation at the heat pain threshold (p=0.002). Similarly, with the use of pressure pain stimuli, sickle cell subjects reported higher pain ratings (p=0.04), but not higher pressure pain tolerance/thresholds or allodynia to light tactile stimuli. Temporal summation pain score changes using 2 pinprick probes (256 and 512mN) were significantly greater (p=0.004 and p=0.008) with sickle cell, and delayed recovery was associated with lower fetal hemoglobin (p=0.002 and 0.003).
    Conclusions: Exaggerated temporal summation responses provide evidence of central sensitization in SCA.
    Implications: The association with fetal hemoglobin suggests this known SCA modifier may have a therapeutic role in modulating central sensitization.
