ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study assessed the activities of daily living (ADL) and risk factors for developing depressive symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and was carried out at the pulmonology outpatient clinic of the Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz. Two hundred two (202) patients with COPD participated in the study. We evaluated the sociodemographic and anthropometric data, the ADL by means of Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire - Modified version (PFSDQ-M), and the presence of depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). All domains (dyspnea, fatigue and activity changes) of PFSDQ are compromised in patients with depressive symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 38.6%. The chance of developing these symptoms was higher for those who used more than one bronchodilator (OR: 2.82, CI 95%: 1.47-5.38, p=0.002), presented dyslipidemias (OR: 2.74, CI95%: 1.24-6.07, p=0.012), had a heart disease (OR: 2.82, CI 95%: 1.18-6.74, p=0.020), presented expectoration (OR: 2.44, CI 95%: 1.2-4.95, p=0.014) or did not have a partner (OR: 2.58, CI 95%: 1.36-4.9, p=0.004). COPD patients with depressive symptoms had all domains of ADL compromised compared to patients without these symptoms.

Sit To Stand

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently associated with exertional oxygen desaturation, which may be evaluated using the 6-minute walking test (6MWT). However, it is a time-consuming test. The 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1STST) is a simpler test, already used to evaluate the functional status. The aim of this study was to compare the 1STST to the 6MWT in the evaluation of exertional desaturation. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 30 stable COPD patients who performed the 6MWT and 1STST on the same day. Six-minute walking distance (6MWD), number of 1STST repetitions (1STSTr), and cardiorespiratory parameters were recorded. Results: A significant correlation was found between the 6MWD and the number of 1STSTr (r = 0.54; p = 0.002). The minimum oxygen saturation (SpO2) in both tests showed a good agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.81) and correlated strongly (r = 0.84; p < 0.001). Regarding oxygen desaturation, the total agreement between the tests was 73.3% with a fair Cohen’s kappa (κ = 0.38; p = 0.018), and 93.33% of observations were within the limits of agreement for both tests in the Bland–Altman analysis. Conclusion: The 1STST seems to be a capable tool of detecting exercise-induced oxygen desaturation in COPD. Because it is a less time- and resources-consuming test, it may be applied during the outpatient clinic consultation to regularly evaluate the exercise capacity and exertional desaturation in COPD.
