Depression and anxiety predict health-related quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

BackgroundThe causal association between depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. We therefore conducted a systematic review of prospective cohort studies that measured depression, anxiety, and HRQoL in COPD.MethodsElectronic databases (Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL], British Nursing Index and Archive, PsycINFO and Cochrane database) were searched from inception to June 18, 2013. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they: used a nonexperimental prospective cohort design; included patients with a diagnosis of COPD confirmed by spirometry; and used validated measures of depression, anxiety, and HRQoL. Data were extracted and pooled using random effects models.ResultsSix studies were included in the systematic review; of these, three were included in the meta-analysis for depression and two were included for the meta-analysis for anxiety. Depression was significantly correlated with HRQoL at 1-year follow-up (pooled r=0.48, 95% confidence interval 0.37–0.57, P<0.001). Anxiety was also significantly correlated with HRQoL at 1-year follow-up (pooled r=0.36, 95% confidence interval 0.23–0.48, P<0.001).ConclusionAnxiety and depression predict HRQoL in COPD. However, this longitudinal analysis does not show cause and effect relationships between depression and anxiety and future HRQoL. Future studies should identify psychological predictors of poor HRQoL in well designed prospective cohorts with a view to isolating the mediating role played by anxiety disorder and depression.

Factors Influencing Health-related Quality of Life of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

“…되면서 (Justine, Tahirah, & Mohan, 2013), 건강 관련 삶의 질 은 만성폐쇄성폐질환자를 위한 의료제공의 효율성을 평가하 는 중요한 지표가 되었다 (Blakemore et al, 2014;Oh & Bang, 2007). 만성폐쇄성폐질환자의 건강 관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미 치는 요인에는 다양한 요인들이 제시되고 있다.…”

“…호흡곤란, 기 침, 객담과 같은 질병 자체로 인한 증상뿐만 아니라 증상의 악 화 경험, 폐기능 저하, 피로, 동반 질환 여부, 수면의 질, 불안, 우 울, 자기효능감 등 다양한 요인들이 삶의 질에 영향을 미친다 (Akinci, Pinar, & Demir, 2013;Burgel et al, 2013;Jones et al, 2011;Kil, Oh, Koo, & Suk, 2010;Lee & Jee, 2011;Stahl et al, 2005).

Factors Associated With Quality of Life in Subjects With Stable COPD

“…However, the reasons for the associations are not clear. 5 Bronchiectasis is a condition representing abnormal and permanent dilatation and distortion of medium-sized bronchi, usually accompanied by destruction of the airway wall. A high prevalence of bronchiectasis in subjects with COPD has been determined.…”
