ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study assessed the activities of daily living (ADL) and risk factors for developing depressive symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and was carried out at the pulmonology outpatient clinic of the Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz. Two hundred two (202) patients with COPD participated in the study. We evaluated the sociodemographic and anthropometric data, the ADL by means of Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire - Modified version (PFSDQ-M), and the presence of depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). All domains (dyspnea, fatigue and activity changes) of PFSDQ are compromised in patients with depressive symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 38.6%. The chance of developing these symptoms was higher for those who used more than one bronchodilator (OR: 2.82, CI 95%: 1.47-5.38, p=0.002), presented dyslipidemias (OR: 2.74, CI95%: 1.24-6.07, p=0.012), had a heart disease (OR: 2.82, CI 95%: 1.18-6.74, p=0.020), presented expectoration (OR: 2.44, CI 95%: 1.2-4.95, p=0.014) or did not have a partner (OR: 2.58, CI 95%: 1.36-4.9, p=0.004). COPD patients with depressive symptoms had all domains of ADL compromised compared to patients without these symptoms.

Copd Exacerbations

It has been shown that the better outcomes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are closely associated with adherence to drug therapy, independent of the treatment administered. The clinical trial Towards a Revolution in COPD Health (TORCH) study clearly showed in a three year follow up that patients with good adherence to their inhaler treatment presented a longer time before the first exacerbation, a lower susceptibility to exacerbation and lower all-cause mortality. The Latin American Study of 24-hour Symptoms in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (LASSYC), a real-life study, evaluated the self-reported inhaler adherence in COPD patients in seven countries in a cross-sectional non-interventional study and found that approximately 50% of the patients had good adherence, 30% moderate adherence and 20% poor adherence. Adherence to inhaler may be evaluated by the specific inhaler adherence questionnaire, the Test of Adherence to Inhalers (TAI). Several factors may predict the incorrect use of inhalers or adherence in COPD outpatient, including the number of devices and the daily dosing frequency. Ideally, patient education, simplicity of the device operation, the use of just one device for multiple medications and the best adaptation of the patient to the inhaler should guide the physician in prescribing the device.
