Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk of depressive disorders because of considerable psychological stress due to physical and social changes brought on by disease. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of depression in patients with CKD and the factors affecting it at a public tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the renal clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Data on 629 patients diagnosed with CKD from September 2014 to April 2016 was obtained. Nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire from PRIME-MD was used to assess the depression. Results: Of all the patients, 44.7% had depression. Mild depression was found to affect 28.9% of the patients followed by moderate depression and severe depression (15.4% and 0.4%, respectively). According to multiple logistic regression, the occurrence of depression was significantly higher with age below 60 years [odds ratio (OR) 1.5, 0.9–2.7; P<0.05], male gender (OR 1.4, 1.0–3.1; P<0.05), no treatment funding (OR 2.7, 1.3–4.6; P<0.05), education less than grade 12 (OR 1.3, 1.3–3.2; P<0.05), monthly income ≤INR 20,000 (OR 1.6, 1.1–3.6; P<0.05), CKD stage V (OR 1.4 1.0– 2.9; P <0.05), Patients on hemodialysis (HD) (OR 2.5, 1.2–4.5; P<0.05), comorbidities ≥3 (OR 1.6, 1.3–3.0; P<0.05), overweight (OR 2.4, 1.3–2.9; P<0.05), and duration of CKD >2 (OR 2.4, 1.4–4.4; P<0.05). Conclusion: About 44.7% of the patients were found to have depression. Patients’ age, gender, body mass index, treatment funding, education status, income, CKD duration and stage, HD status, and comorbidities were found to be significant factors affecting depression.

Background: One of the main factors affecting maternal morbidity and mortality is the decision to delivery interval (DDI) that is, the time taken from the decision to take the patient up for caesarean section to the delivery of the fetus. Method: This is a retrospective observational study conducted over a period of twelve months where 370 patients were studied. Results: No delay was seen in 49.2% cases whereas most delay was noted after decision by obstetricians to transfer patient to OT (22.2%). Conclusion: In order to get favourable maternal and fetal outcome decision to delivery interval should be within 30 minutes and this can be made possible if factors like results of blood investigations and cross matching of blood can be made available on time.

Alcohol Dependence Syndrome

Introduction: Alcohol dependence syndrome is an important and major public health issue seen in our community and health center. It is mostly associated with different mental health problems and psychiatric co-morbidities. This study aims to find out the prevalence of depression among alcohol dependence syndrome in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over one year from April 15, 2020, to February 15, 2021 at a tertiary care hospital. The ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College (reference number: 409/2020). Convenience sampling method was used. The patients admitted for alcohol use and related problems in the Psychiatry Department, Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar were included. Data entry was done using Microsoft Excel and statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Packages of Social Sciences Version 16.0. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage. Results: The prevalence of depression in patients with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome was 17 (16.3%) (95% Confidence Interval= 9.20-23.39) . The patients suffering from depressive disorder male and female were 16 (94.1%) and 1 (5.8%) respectively. The participants with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome with no other comorbid psychiatric disorders were found to be 60 (57.7%). Conclusions: Psychiatric comorbidity was found to be common in alcohol dependent people among which depression was found to be most common.

Ckd Stage

Background: Chronic kidney disease is distinguished by progressive loss of kidney function over a period of years in the end leading to irreversible kidney failure. CKD is a significant prognosticator of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis is common in patients with risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease.Methods: It was a cross sectional study on CKD patients in a tertiary care hospital. About 90 CKD stage 3-5 patients aged above 18 years were enrolled in the study. Serum lipid profile, RFT, serum calcium, phosphorous, and BP were estimated among all the patient. Patient risk factors were noted and CIMT levels were compared accordingly.Results: Out of 90 patients, males were predominant. There was a significant positive correlation between stage 5 and CIMT (P value <0.001). Mean CIMT was higher in patients with type 2 Diabetes. Patients with higher phosphorous the mean CIMT was significantly higher.Conclusions: The CIMT is early marker for atherosclerosis. Author observed it was significantly higher in patients with stage 3 and 5 CKD. CIMT is a non- invasive marker which should be done in all patients with CKD which is cost effective.
