ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of depression and anxiety of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. MethodsA total of 114 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease patients were enrolled in this study and were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. ResultsA total of 71 patients (62.3%) had depression symptom and 68 patients (59.6%) had anxiety symptom before percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There were 46 patients (40.4%) had significant depression symptom and 40 patients (35.1%) had significant anxiety symptom before percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. A total of 85 patients (74.6%) had depression symptom and 83 patients (72.8%) had anxiety symptom after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There were 60 patients (52.6%) had significant depression symptom and 48 patients (42.1%) had significant anxiety symptom after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There was significant difference in prevalence rate of depression and anxiety before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting (P < 0.05). ConclusionsThe patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease show higher prevalence of depression and anxiety. The prevalence of depression and anxiety increases significantly after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting.
ObjectiveTo investigate prevalence of anxiety and depression in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to increase the awareness of physicians on this comorbidity.MethodsPatients were from a multicenter prospective cohort study and 13 institutions or hospitals participated in the study. Four hundred and ten patients with a prior diagnosis of COPD were prospectively recruited from January 2017 to January 2019, and baseline date were analyzed. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to identify anxiety and depression.ResultsThe cohort had a mean age of (60.7±10.0) years with 76.8% males and 74.3% smokers. Seventy-nine patients (19.3%) had anxiety or depression. Among them, 36 subjects (8.8%) had anxiety, and 64 patients (15.6%) were with depression, and 21 patients (5.1%) with anxiety and depression. The prevalence of severe anxiety (2.7%) and severe depression (2.4%) was low. Compared to patients without anxiety or depression, patients with anxiety or depression had significantly higher CAT scores (17.8±9.3 with anxiety, 17.4±8.4 with depression, 12.5±7.3 without anxiety or depression, P 0.002 and 0.000 respectively). The risk of acute exacerbations was higher in patients with depression (37.5% vs. 22.7%, P=0.016). Proportion of patients categorized into GOLD group D was higher in patients with depression (P=0.001).ConclusionsAbout 20% COPD patients has anxiety or depression. Prevalence of depression is two times that of anxiety. The prevalence of severe anxiety or severe depression is low. Patients with depression have lower quality of life, higher risk of acute exacerbations, and higher proportion of patients categorized into GOLD group D.
