Key result
A 12-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program improved anxiety (BAI 10.15 to 7.67; p=0.0041) and depression (BDI 12.60 to 8.96; p=0.00016) in COPD patients, though variables correlated weakly.

Absolute Event Rate: 7.67% vs 10.15%
p-value: p=0.0041
A 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program significantly improves anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with COPD.
Supports pulmonary rehabilitation for anxiety and depression in COPD; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Objective: To analyze the effect of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (PRP) on the levels of anxiety and depression and the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Method: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who completed the PRP of 3 weekly sessions of 60 min duration for 12 weeks, a total of 36 sessions, were assessed using Beck Inventory (BAI and BDI) and Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Results: A total of 125 individuals, with an average age of 63.7 ± 8.8 years, FEV1: 1.17 ± 0.57 L (43.18 ± 18.79% predicted), 61.6% male and 38.4% female, were analyzed. The BAI and BDI before and after PRP were, respectively, 10.15 ± 6.32 vs. 7.67 ± 7.21; p = 0.0041 and 12.60 ± 7.99 vs. 8.96 ± 7.29; p = 0.00016. The results of the SGRQ domains were, respectively, Before and After symptoms (48.53 ± 20.41 vs. 32.58 ± 18.95), Activity (69.15 ± 20.79 vs. 52.42 ± 23.70), Impact (32.92 ± 18.29 vs. 20.27 ± 16.70), Total (46.69 ± 16.90 vs. 32.07 ± 16.96). When correlating the BDI to the domains of the SGRQ, weak correlations were observed (Symptoms r = 0.22; p = 0.01; Activity r = 0.28; p = 0.001; Impact r = 0.52; p = 2.72; Total r = 0.44; p = 0.17). In the same way, weak correlations were observed when correlating the BAI to the SGRQ (Symptoms r = 0.28; p = 0.0009; Activity r = 0.32; p = 0.0005; Impact r = 0.42; p = 7.33; Total r = 0.43; p = 0.74). Conclusion: Although the PRP improves levels of depression and anxiety as well as the quality of life in patients with COPD, no significant correlation of these analyzed variables was observed. Resumo: Objetivo: Analisar o efeito de um programa de reabilitação pulmonar (PRP) nos níveis de ansiedade e depressão e na qualidade de vida de doentes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC). Método: Os doentes com DPOC que completaram o PRP de 3 sessões semanais de 60 minutos de duração, durante 12 semanas, num total de 36 sessões, foram avaliados usando o Inventário de Beck (BAI e BDI) e o Questionário Saint George na Doença Respiratória (SGRQ). Resultados: Foram analisados 125 doentes com uma idade média de 63,7 ± 8,8, FEV1: 1,17 ± 0,57 L (43,18 ± 18,79% previsto), 61,6% homens e 38,4% mulheres. O BAI e o BDI antes e depois do PRP foram, respectivamente, 10,15 ± 6,32 vs. 7,67 ± 7,21; p = 0,0041 e 12,60 ± 7,99 vs. 8,96 ± 7,29; p = 0,00016. Os resultados dos domínios do SGRQ foram, respectivamente, antes e depois dos sintomas (48,53 ± 20,41 vs. 32,58 ± 18,95), Atividade (69,15 ± 20,79 vs. 52,42 ± 23,70), Impacto (32,92 ± 18,29 vs. 20,27 ± 16,70), Total (46,69 ± 16,90 vs. 32,07 ± 16,96). Quando correlacionámos o BDI aos domínios do SGRQ, foram observadas ligeiras correlações (Sintomas r = 0,22; p = 0,01; Atividade r = 0,28; p = 0,001; Impacto r = 0,52; p = 2,72; Total r = 0,44; p = 0,17). Também foram observadas correlações ligeiras quando correlacionamos o BAI com o SGRQ (Sintomas r = 0,28; p = 0,0009; Atividade r = 0,32; p = 0,0005; Impacto r = 0,42; p = 7,33; Total r = 0,43; p = 0,74). Conclusão: Apesar de o PRP melhorar os níveis de depressão e ansiedade, bem como os níveis de qualidade de vida dos doentes com DPOC, não foram observadas correlações significativas destas variáveis analisadas.

Costa et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=125). Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program vs. Baseline (pre-intervention) was evaluated on Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) score (p=0.0041). A 12-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program improved anxiety (BAI 10.15 to 7.67; p=0.0041) and depression (BDI 12.60 to 8.96; p=0.00016) in COPD patients, though variables correlated weakly.
