There is good evidence for an association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and depression, but there are few studies on the relationship between COPD and suicidal ideation/suicidal attempts.
To evaluate the mental health of patients with COPD in Korea and to compare it with that of the general population.
We analysed data of 15,718 subjects (age ⩾40 years) who participated in the 2007-2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. COPD was defined according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria for people aged ⩾40 years. We compared the mental health outcomes of 2,506 patients with COPD (2,355 GOLD stages I and II; 151 GOLD stages III and IV) with those of 13,212 controls.
Suicidal thoughts were reported by 16.0% of patients in stages I and II, by 23.8% of those in stages III and IV and by 15.7% of controls (P=0.023). Suicidal attempts were reported by 0.6% of patients in stages I and II, by 2.6% of those in stages III and IV and by 1.0% of controls (P=0.019). The crude odds ratio (OR) for suicidal ideation in those in stages III and IV was 1.68 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-2.46), and the OR for suicidal attempts in stages III and IV was 2.83 (95% CI, 1.03-7.75). In multivariate analysis, the OR for suicidal ideation in stages III and IV was 1.67 (95% CI, 1.12-2.49) and that for suicidal attempts was 2.94 (95% CI, 1.03-8.31).
GOLD stages III and IV COPD were associated with a marked increase in suicidal behaviour.
有充分的证据表明慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)与抑郁之间存在关联,但关于 COPD 与自杀意念/自杀企图之间的关系的研究较少。
评估韩国 COPD 患者的心理健康状况,并将其与普通人群进行比较。
我们分析了 2007-2012 年韩国国家健康和营养检查调查中 15718 名(年龄≥40 岁)受试者的数据。COPD 根据全球倡议慢性阻塞性肺疾病(GOLD)标准定义为年龄≥40 岁的人群。我们比较了 2506 例 COPD 患者(GOLD 分期 I 和 II 为 2355 例;GOLD 分期 III 和 IV 为 151 例)与 13212 名对照者的心理健康结局。
I 期和 II 期患者报告有自杀念头的比例为 16.0%,III 期和 IV 期患者为 23.8%,对照组为 15.7%(P=0.023)。I 期和 II 期患者报告有自杀企图的比例为 0.6%,III 期和 IV 期患者为 2.6%,对照组为 1.0%(P=0.019)。III 期和 IV 期患者自杀意念的粗比值比(OR)为 1.68(95%置信区间(CI),1.16-2.46),III 期和 IV 期患者自杀企图的 OR 为 2.83(95%CI,1.03-7.75)。多变量分析显示,III 期和 IV 期患者自杀意念的 OR 为 1.67(95%CI,1.12-2.49),自杀企图的 OR 为 2.94(95%CI,1.03-8.31)。
GOLD 分期 III 期和 IV 期 COPD 与自杀行为明显增加有关。
