Abstract

Study objective Depressive symptoms and reduced health-related quality of life are common in patients with severe COPD. Therefore, understanding the association between preferences for life-sustaining treatment and depression or quality of life is important in providing care. No prior studies have examined the effects of depression and quality of life on treatment preferences in this population.Design and patients Cross-sectional study of 101 patients with oxygen-prescribed COPD.Methods Patients completed the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression survey, and questions regarding their preferences for mechanical ventilation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation if needed to sustain life.Results Median age was 67.4 years, and median FEV1 was 26.3% predicted. Depression was significantly associated with preferences for resuscitation (50% of depressed patients and 23% of patients without depression refused resuscitation; p = 0.007), but was not associated with preferences for mechanical ventilation. Health-related quality of life was not associated with preferences for either resuscitation or mechanical ventilation.Conclusions Clinicians caring for patients with oxygen-prescribed COPD should understand that health-related quality of life does not predict treatment preferences and should not influence clinicians' views of patients' treatment preferences. However, depression does appear to influence patients' treatment decisions for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and improvement in depressive symptoms should trigger a reassessment of these preferences.

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.
