Clinical Records

Psychological morbidity is common in chronic respiratory diseases. The diagnostic accuracy of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and risk factors for comorbid depression in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are addressed. Consecutive COPD patients (GOLD stage I–IV, 40–75 years old) were enrolled in a multicentre, cross-sectional cohort study. Diagnosis of depression was ascertained through clinical records. Lung function, HADS score, 6-minute walking test (6-MWT), MRC dyspnoea score, and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) were evaluated. Two hundred fifty-nine COPD patients (mean age 62.5 years; 32% female; mean FEV1 48% predicted) were included. Patients diagnosed with depression (29/259; 11.2%) had significantly higher HADS-D and HADS-Total scores than nondepressed patients (median (quartiles) HADS-D 6 [4; 9] versus 4 [2; 7], median HADS-Total 14 [10; 20] versus 8 [5; 14]). Receiver-operating characteristic plots showed moderate accuracy for HADS-D, AUC 0.662 (95%CI 0.601–0.719), and HADS-Total, AUC 0.681 (95%CI 0.620–0.737), with optimal cut-off scores of >5 and >9, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were 62.1% and 62.6% for HADS-D compared to 75.9% and 55.2% for HADS-Total. Age, comorbidities, sex, and lower airflow limitation predicted depression. The HADS exhibits low diagnostic accuracy for depression in COPD patients. Younger men with comorbidities are at increased risk for depression.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The presence of anxiety and depression in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often associated with greater disability, higher rates of exacerbations, increasedhospitalization and mortality. Many types of breathing exercises, such as Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB), Diaphragmatic Breathing (DBE), Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT), have been reported positivephysiological effects to reduces breathlessness, anxiety and depression in patients with COPD. This study aims to determine the effect in anxiety and depression after intervention of Inspiratory MuscleTraining (IMT) in COPD patients that received PLB.Methods: An experimental pre and post randomly study design, in August – September 2019. Control group and experimental group each performed PLB exercises while the experimental group got additionalIMT. To evaluate anxiety and depression status, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used.Results: Twenty subjects with COPD were recruited, no significant differences of HADS score between both groups. After 6 weeks of intervention, the HADS score in each group decreased significantly, withdelta of HADS score in experimental group was greater than the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: Improvement of HADS scores after additional IMT was better than PLB only in COPD patients.Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hospital anxiety and depression scale; inspiratory muscle training; pursed lips breathing.

ABSTRACTBackground: Anxiety and depression are prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study evaluates the sensitivity and specificity of two self-administered anxiety rating scales in older people with COPD. The Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) are established useful screening tools but they have not been previously validated in this population.Methods: Older people with COPD completed the GAI and the HADS along with a structured diagnostic psychiatric interview, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). The outcomes of both rating scales were compared against the diagnosis of anxiety disorders based on the MINI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify the optimal diagnostic cut points for each scale.Results: Fourteen (25.5%) of the 55 participants, were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Mean GAI and HADS-anxiety subscale scores were significantly higher in subjects with an anxiety disorder than those without the diagnosis (p = 0.002 and 0.005 respectively). Both scales demonstrated moderate diagnostic value (area under the ROC curve was 0.83 for GAI and 0.79 for HADS). Optimal cut points were ≥3 (GAI) and ≥4 (HADS-anxiety subscale). At these cut-points, the GAI had a sensitivity of 85.7%, specificity of 78.0% and the HADS had a sensitivity of 78.6%, specificity 70.7%.Conclusion: Our results support the use of the GAI and HADS as screening instruments for anxiety disorders in older people with COPD. The optimal cut points in this population were lower than previously recommended for both rating scales. The results of this study should be replicated before these cut points can be recommended for general use in older people with COPD.

Background: Psychiatric co-morbidities such as anxiety and depression among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbate the disease, prolong the hospital stay, increase the disease symptoms and deter the quality of life.Objective: To assess the proportion of anxiety or depression among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a tertiary care hospital.Methodology: We carried out a cross sectional study interviewing 307 patients from a tertiary care hospital using sequential sampling technique. We used structured questionnaire and included hospital anxiety and depression scale to measure anxiety and depression. We considered a summed score of

The Impact

Anxiety and depression are very common comorbidities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was aimed at documenting the prevalence anxiety and depression in COPD patient attending tertiary level hospital. A quantitative cross sectional analytical study was carried out in 221 patients with previously diagnosed COPD. Participants were recruited from respiratory OPD at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Anxiety and depression were screened using previously validated Nepalese version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and dyspnea was assessed using the modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC). COPD Assessment Test (CAT) was used to measure the impact of COPD on daily life. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Out of 221, 140 patients (63.3%) had anxiety and 153 patients (69.2%) had depression and 133 (60.2%) had both psychiatric symptoms. Factors associated with anxiety and depression in COPD patients were age, ethnicity, educational status, marital status, current working status, duration of illness, history of previous hospitalization, number of hospitalization in previous year, domiciliary oxygen therapy comorbidities along with dyspnea, CAT score. In conclusion, the study findings suggest that anxiety and depression are highly prevalent in COPD patients.
