Overview

Dyadic depression screening may benefit COPD patients and caregivers; leaves open whether partner effects should guide interventions.

Structured PICO

P
Population
89 patient-caregiver dyads with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) enrolled in a multi-site cohort study. Patients: 61% women, 65% racial/ethnic minorities. Caregivers: 76% women, 63% racial/ethnic minorities.
O
Outcome
Depression (measured by PHQ9)patient reported

In COPD patient-caregiver dyads, similar factors predict depression in both members, and women are at increased risk when their partners are depressed, highlighting the need for dyadic psychosocial interventions.
