Prevalence and Predictors of Depression in COPD

NCT02415140 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 161

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Depression adversely affects quality of life in COPD patients, associated with higher rate of exacerbations, admissions and mortality. However, local prevalence rate of depression in geriatric COPD patients remains unknown.

Though BODE index is superior to FEV1 in prediction of depression in COPD, it is unclear which domain of BODE correlates best with depression. Furthermore, with multiple confounding factors, it's ambiguous that whether frequent exacerbation is an 'independent' predictor for depression among COPD patients.

The objective of this study is i.) to study the local prevalence rate of depression in geriatric COPD patients, ii.) to identify risk factors for depression especially looking at the any independent relationship between frequent exacerbations, various domains of BODE index and depression.
