ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo survey the incidence of depression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and explore the related factors.MethodsOne hundred and fifty-nine patients with RA were investigated.All of them were assessed by depression scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.A mono-variate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were carried out to determine the factors that best related to the occurrence of depression in RA.ResultsThe overall incidence rate was 39.6%.The regression analysis showed that factors related to the occurrence of depression in RA were HAQ-DI (OR=3.276,95%CI 1.315-7.814,P=0.003),the number of tender joints (OR=2.252,95%CI 1.117-3.362,P=0.029),low-income families (OR=1.629,95%CI 1.215-2.437,P=0.031 ) and serum CRP level (OR=1.528,95%CI 1.112-2.294,P=0.040).ConclusionDepression is common in patients with RA.Patients who havehigh HAQ-DI,CRP and from low-income families with more tender joints tend to develop depression.
