To establish the association between quality of life and depression among COPD patients of the Colombian Caribbean.
A cross-sectional study was carried out with the participation of adult COPD patients. COPD-related quality of life was quantified with the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and depression using the Zung 10-item Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS-10). The relationship between COPD-related quality of life and depression with odds ratios (OR), crude and adjusted, was determined.
408 patients participated in the study. They were aged between 40 and 102 years (mean = 72.9, SD = 10.2) and 58.8% men. Two hundred eighty-four patients (69.6%) reported worse health status (CAT ≥10), and 114 patients (27.9%) scored for depression (SDS-10). Patients with worse health status presented more depression (OR = 5.85, 95% CI 3.01-11.36) and after adjusting for gender (OR = 5.70, 95% CI 2.92-11.13).
In patients with COPD and CAT ≥10, there is a five times greater risk of depression than patients with CAT <10. However, the relationship may be bidirectional. It is essential to specify the direction of causality in future investigations.
建立哥伦比亚加勒比地区 COPD 患者生活质量与抑郁之间的关联。
进行了一项横断面研究,参与者为成年 COPD 患者。使用 COPD 评估测试(CAT)量化与 COPD 相关的生活质量,使用zung10 项自评抑郁量表(SDS-10)评估抑郁。使用比值比(OR)、粗值和调整值确定与 COPD 相关的生活质量和抑郁之间的关系。
408 名患者参与了这项研究。他们的年龄在 40 至 102 岁之间(平均值=72.9,标准差=10.2),58.8%为男性。284 名患者(69.6%)报告健康状况较差(CAT≥10),114 名患者(27.9%)评分抑郁(SDS-10)。健康状况较差的患者更易出现抑郁(OR=5.85,95%CI 3.01-11.36),调整性别后(OR=5.70,95%CI 2.92-11.13),这一关联依然存在。
在 CAT≥10 的 COPD 患者中,抑郁的风险是 CAT<10 的患者的五倍。然而,这种关系可能是双向的。在未来的研究中,有必要明确因果关系的方向。
