Key result
Low BMI, low FEV1, and high CAT score were identified as independent risk factors for depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Why the study?
Depression in patients with COPD is frequently unrecognized and untreated, and few studies have examined the risk factors for depression in this population.
Observational (n=293)
Low BMI, low FEV1, and high CAT score are independent risk factors for depression in COPD patients, which may help identify high-risk individuals.
May aid early identification of depression-prone COPD patients; leaves open causal links and intervention effects.
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ranges from 10% to 42%, but the diagnosis of depression in patients with COPD is often unrecognized and untreated. Unrecognized depression has major implications for compliance with medical treatment, prolonged lengths of stay, increased frequency of hospital admissions, and increased consultations with primary care physicians. Many studies have attempted to identify risk factors for progression, prognosis and response to therapy in patients with depression. However, few studies have examined the risk factors for depression in patients with COPD, and some results remain controversial. AIM: To identify the potential risk factors to define patients with COPD who are at "high risk" of depression. METHODS: The clinical data of 293 patients with COPD were reviewed from January 2017 to December 2018. The correlations between demographics, clinical characteristics and depression were analyzed. The risk factors for depression in patients with COPD were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The cutoff value, sensitivity and specificity of the independent correlation factors were calculated with a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS: , 0.855 L and 12.5, respectively. CONCLUSION: Low BMI, low FEV1, and high CAT score were identified as independent risk factors for depression in patients with COPD.

Yao et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=293). Low BMI, low FEV1, and high CAT score was evaluated on Depression. Low BMI, low FEV1, and high CAT score were identified as independent risk factors for depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
