Few data with regard to the relevance between depression and frailty in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients are currently available. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between frailty and depression as evaluated by the Beck Depression Inventory-2nd edition (BDI-II) in CLD patients ( = 340, median age = 65.0 years).
Frailty was defined as a clinical syndrome in which three or more of the following criteria were met: body weight loss, exhaustion, muscle weakness, slow walking speed and low physical activity. Depressive state was defined as BDI-II score 11 or greater.
Robust (frailty score = zero), prefrail (frailty score = one or two) and frailty were identified in 114 (33.5%), 182 (53.5%) and 44 (12.9%). The median BDI-II score was five. Depressive state was identified in 84 patients (24.7%). The median BDI-II scores in patients with robust, prefrail and frail traits were 2, 7 and 12.5 (robust vs. prefrail, < 0.0001; prefrail vs. robust, = 0.0003; robust vs. frail, < 0.0001; overall < 0.0001). The proportions of depressive state in patients with robust, prefrail and frail traits were 3.51%, 30.77% and 54.55% (robust vs. prefrail, < 0.0001; prefrail vs. robust, = 0.0046; robust vs. frail, < 0.0001; overall < 0.0001). BDI-II score significantly correlated with frailty score ( = 0.5855, < 0.0001).
The close correlation between frailty and depression can be found in CLD. Preventing frailty in CLD should be approached both physiologically and psychologically.
目前,关于慢性肝脏疾病(CLD)患者的抑郁与虚弱之间相关性的数据较少。我们旨在阐明 CLD 患者中贝克抑郁量表第二版(BDI-II)评估的虚弱与抑郁之间的关系(n=340,中位年龄=65.0 岁)。
虚弱被定义为一种临床综合征,其中满足以下三个或更多标准:体重减轻、疲惫、肌肉无力、行走速度缓慢和体力活动低。抑郁状态定义为 BDI-II 评分≥11。
确定了 114 例(33.5%)、182 例(53.5%)和 44 例(12.9%)的无虚弱(虚弱评分=零)、虚弱前期(虚弱评分=一或二)和虚弱患者。BDI-II 评分中位数为 5。识别出 84 例(24.7%)抑郁状态患者。无虚弱、虚弱前期和虚弱特征患者的 BDI-II 评分中位数分别为 2、7 和 12.5(无虚弱与虚弱前期,<0.0001;虚弱前期与无虚弱,=0.0003;无虚弱与虚弱,<0.0001;总体<0.0001)。无虚弱、虚弱前期和虚弱特征患者的抑郁状态比例分别为 3.51%、30.77%和 54.55%(无虚弱与虚弱前期,<0.0001;虚弱前期与无虚弱,=0.0046;无虚弱与虚弱,<0.0001;总体<0.0001)。BDI-II 评分与虚弱评分显著相关(=0.5855,<0.0001)。
在 CLD 中可以发现虚弱与抑郁之间的密切相关性。CLD 中预防虚弱应同时从生理和心理两方面进行。
