Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 2-37% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with results being highly variable between studies. DM may also correlate with disease characteristics.The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of DM and its correlation with comorbidities and COPD characteristics in patients with COPD admitted for exacerbation. 152 patients were studied for presence of DM. All of them were also assessed for vitamin D status and metabolic syndrome (MS). Data were gathered for smoking status and exacerbations during the last year. All patients completed CAT (COPD assessment test) and mMRC (Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale) questionnaires and underwent spirometry. Duration of current hospital stay was recorded. 13.2% (20/152) of patients are taking medications for DM. Additional 21.7% (33/152) have newly discovered DM and 30.9% (47/152) have prediabetes. Only 34.2% of the studied patients do not have DM or prediabetes. 37% (40/108) of males have DM vs. 29,5% (13/44) of females (p=0.379). The prevalence of DM in this study is significantly higher when compared to an unselected Bulgarian population (12,8% in subjects over 45 years). 91% of patients with newly discovered diabetes had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)≥6,5% suggesting prolonged hyperglycemia. There is a correlation between the presence of DM and MS (p=0.008). The presence of DM is associated with more severe exacerbations (hospitalizations) during the previous year (p=0.003) and a longer hospital stay (p=0.006). DM is not associated with reduced quality of life and worse pulmonary function. The patients with COPD admitted for exacerbation are at great risk for impaired glucose metabolism which is associated with worse COPD characteristics. The majority of the patients in this study are unaware of having DM.

Introduction: Depression has been bi-directionally associated with chronic medical disorders such as Diabetes Mellitus type 2(DM) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD). Presence of depression complicates the treatment outcomes due to poor adherence to treatment regimens and is also associated with significant functional impairment ranging from impaired productivity to absenteeism. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of depression in patients with DM and COPD, and correlate them with socio-demographic variables. Settings and Design: A cross sectional hospital-based study was conducted on 30 patients having DM and 30 patients having COPD from January 2018 to June 2018. Methods and Material: Socio-demographic data was collected using semi-structured proforma and depression was assessed using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Statistical analysis used: Quantitative data is expressed in numbers and percentages. Pearson’s Chi-square was applied to compare the sociodemographic correlates amongst themselves with diagnosis of DM and COPD. Results: Prevalence of depression in patients with DM was 63.33% and in those with COPD was 66.67%. Socio-demographically, only living status was significant with DM (p= 0.069). Overall, most (56.41%) had mild levels of severity. Conclusions: In about two-thirds of patients having DM or COPD, psychiatric co-morbidity in the form of depression is present. Hospital admission due to acute exacerbation may lead to increase in depressive features. This may contribute to poor compliance to treatment of these medical illnesses subsequently. Thus, special measures for early detection and treatment of depression in patients with these medical co-morbidities should be implemented to enhance treatment outcome.

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease with the limitation of the airway, which is not completely reversible and is progressive. One of the risk factors of this disease is exposure to cigarette smoke for a long time. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship of smoking with the quality of life of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients at Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital. This cross-sectional research has been implemented in February-May 2019 and involving 35 research subjects that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, data was obtained that 97.1% of male gender research subjects, aged 60-69 years, 37.1%, 45.7% had moderate smoking status, poor quality of life 54.3% and there was a relationship with quality of life in Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital (P-value < 0.05). In this research can be concluded that there is a smoking relationship with the quality of life patients of chronic abortive pulmonary disease patients in Dr. Reksodiwiryo Hospital, Padang.Keywords:            Smoking Status, quality of life, COPD.
