Abstract

Background Anxiety is a complicating comorbid diagnosis in many patients with medical illnesses. In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), anxiety disorders often are perceived to represent symptoms of depression rather than independent conditions and therefore have been relatively understudied in this medical population.Study design To evaluate the psychosocial impact of anxiety disorders on patients with ESRD, we sought to identify the rates of these disorders in a sample of patients receiving hemodialysis at a single center by using a structured clinical interview. We also compared a commonly used screening measure, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), with these clinical diagnoses to determine the measure's criterion validity or ability to predict a psychiatric diagnosis in ESRD populations. Finally, we examined the relationship between anxiety diagnosis and perceptions of quality of life (QOL) and health status.Setting & participants A sample of 70 randomly selected hemodialysis patients from an urban metropolitan center.Predictor Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) Axis I Diagnosis (SCID-I).Outcomes HADS and Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form.Results Using the SCID, 71% of the sample received a DSM-IV Axis I diagnosis, with 45.7% of subjects meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder and 40% meeting criteria for a mood disorder. The concordance between DSM-IV anxiety disorders and anxiety scores acquired by using the HADS was not significant. Thus, although the HADS may provide an acceptable measure of overall "psychic distress" compared against the SCID-I, it has poor predictive power for anxiety diagnoses in patients with ESRD. Additionally, the presence of an anxiety disorder was associated with an overall perceived lower QOL (t = 2.4; P < 0.05).Limitations Single-center study and a population not representative of US demographics.Conclusions A substantial proportion of participating patients met criteria for an anxiety disorder. The utility of the HADS as a screening tool for anxiety in patients with ESRD should be questioned. The finding that anxiety disorders negatively impact on QOL and are not merely manifestations of depression in patients with ESRD emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Strategic options are necessary to improve the diagnosis of anxiety disorders, potentially enhancing QOL and medical outcome in patients with ESRD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
