ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Depression is commonly comorbid in the elderly patients with physical illness. This study examined the prevalence of depression in the elderly with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).METHODS:
The eighty-seven patients with COPD were enrolled. The subjects are over 60 years old. The medical and psychiatric history, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HDRS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), Geriatric Depression Scale-Short form Korean (GDS-SF-K), Mini-Mental Status Exam Korean version (MMSE-KC) were investigated. Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), which predict the severity of COPD, also investigated.RESULTS:
The prevalence of depression was estimated to be 24.7% (male 19.3% ; female 35.7%) in HDRS, 31.0% (male 24.6% ; female 43.3%) in PHQ-9, 8.0% (male 10.5% ; female 3.3%) in PHQ-2, 23.0% (male 17.5% ; female 33.3%) in GDS-SF-K. The severity of COPD (GOLD) was associated with the prevalence of depression (HDRS, p=0.027 ; PHQ-9, p=0.045 ; PHQ-2, p=0.112 ; GDS-SFK, p=0.089).CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of elderly depression with COPD ranged from about 20% to 30%, the prevalence of depression is nearly two times more common in women. The severity of COPD (GOLD) was associated with the prevalence of depression. The self-reporting scale, such as GDS-SF-K, PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 is the effective screening test of depression.
