Abstract

Abstract Background Several studies have reported high prevalence of anxiety and depression in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outpatients. Moreover, these patients share psychological or psychopathological characteristics that inhibit their ability to cope with the disease. In the present study we aimed to record the prevalence of psychological symptom patterns in a sample of Greek COPD outpatients and to assess which psychological factors (and to which degree) contribute to vital exhaustion (VE). Methods The study included 139 COPD outpatients. We used the Symptom Checklist 90 - Revised (SCL-90-R) and the Maastricht Questionnaire (MQ) in order to evaluate psychological symptom patterns and VE, respectively. Results The mean MQ score was 19.6, which is significantly higher than the corresponding score in the general population. Regarding the SCL-90-R dimensions, depression was the highest followed by somatization, obsessive-compulsive and anxiety dimensions. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between the MQ and the SCL-90-R dimensions. MQ failed to demonstrate correlation with age, gender, education level or the severity of the disease. Depression seems to be responsible for 57.9% of the variation of VE, while obsessive-compulsiveness is responsible for an additional 2.4%. All the remaining dimensions of SCL-90-R had no statistically significant contributions. Conclusions Our findings suggest the high prevalence of VE, together with high rates in most of the SCL-90-R dimensions with greater depression, somatization, obsessive-compulsiveness and anxiety in a Greek COPD group at various Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) diagnostic criteria stages. The coexistence of such symptoms should be further assessed as an eventual unfavorable prognostic factor.

5. Asthma-COPD Overlap: A more Simplistic Approach

Author

Corlateanu, Alexandru, Covantev, Serghei, Botnaru, Victor, Dumitru, Silvia, and Corlateanu, Olga

Abstract

Obstructive pulmonary diseases are a group of respiratory conditions characterized by airflow limitation. They are prevalent in the population and lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The two most commonly encountered conditions are asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Although, for many years, the two conditions were regarded as separate, it was realized that some patients may have an overlap between these illnesses. This observation led to the identification of asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) syndrome. ACO is an umbrella term that is used “to collectively describe patients who have persistent airflow limitation together with clinical features that are consistent with both asthma and COPD”. Its importance in the field of respiratory medicine is increasing every year as there are more data that underline the importance of its timely diagnosis and management. The current review is a timely update of the advances in our understanding of ACO.
