ABSTRACT
Based upon the measure of depression as defined by Hamilton depression scale (HAMD)scores > 17,120 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were classified into 2 groupsCOPD patients with or without depression.According to the mini-mental state examination (MMSE),the cognitive functions of all patients were evaluated.Meanwhile,oxygen saturation and pulmonary function were measured by blood gas analyzer and spirometer respectively.Fifty-four COPD patients were complicated with depression.HAMD scores were significantly negatively correlated with oxygen saturation and pulmonary function (P <0.05).Multiple regression analysis revealed that gender,oxygen saturation and MMSE scores were risk factors of depression (P < 0.05).MMSE scores decreased more obviously in the COPD patients with depression and were positively correlated with oxygen saturation (P < 0.01).A negative correlation existed between MMSE scores and HAMD scores (r =-0.549,P < 0.05).
