Evaluation of Depression and Quality of Life in Patients With Psoriasis

Objective:To measure the prevalence of depression in patients with psoriasis and to evaluate the relationship between the severity of psoriasis and depression and its effect on patients’quality of life.Methods:A total of 154 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis were assessed to determine the severity of psoriasis based on the psoriasis area and severity index score,presence,and severity of depression using the patient health questionnaire 9,and quality of life using the dermatology life quality index 10.Pearson correlation coefficient was used to demonstrate the relationship between continuous variables with 95%confidence intervals(CIs);P<0.00001 was taken to indicate statistical significance.Results:The severity of psoriasis was mild in 36.36%of patients,moderate in 25.97%,severe in 32.47%,and very severe in 5.20%.Of the 154 patients,139(90.3%)had depression;the severity of depression was mild in most affected patients(46.7%)and severe in 2.6%of patients.Psoriasis had a moderate effect on the quality of life in 37.01%of patients and a very large effect in 33.77%of patients.The severity of psoriasis was positively correlated with depression(Pearson correlation coefficient,r=0.42,P<0.00001,95%CI:0.28–0.54)and quality of life(r=0.43,P<0.00001,95%CI:0.29–0.55).Conclusion:Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with psoriasis.The severity of psoriasis is positively correlated with the severity of depression and is associated with poor quality of life.

综合医院神经内科门诊患者抑郁症状群及生活质量调查

目的运用抑郁症状群筛选工具,调查综合医院神经内科门诊患者抑郁症状群的检出率;探讨神经内科门诊伴有抑郁症状群患者的生活质量。方法使用中文版患者健康问卷(patient health questionnaire,PHQ)的抑郁症状群分量表(PHQ-9)及健康状况调查问卷(the short form-36 health survey,SF-36)对综合医院神经内科门诊患者进行调查。共收集有效问卷306份。分析了患者抑郁症状群与生活质量的相关性。结果存在抑郁症状群患者有149例(占受调查人群的48.7%)。具有抑郁症状群的神经内科门诊患者SF-36各维度评分低于不伴有抑郁症状群患者。SF-36各维度评分与PHQ-9评分呈负相关,具有统计学意义(r值:-0.182～-0.839,P≤0.001)。结论在综合医院神经内科门诊就诊者中,抑郁症状群检出率较高,这类患者生活质量较差。
