PERMANENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IS RELATED WITH AN INCREASE IN DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY DISORDER IN TURKISH POPULATION

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and depression/ anxiety disorder in Turkish population. We thought that more data exploring needs of AF patients and the associated factors as well as the impact of anxiety/depression on needs are limited. Material and Method Forty-five consecutive patients with permanent AF and forty-five control group (sinus rhythm) were enrolled in this study. All participants completed Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS). BDS was used to evaluate mood disorders and depression. HAS was used to evaluate severity of anxiety level and symptom distribution. BDS and HAS were compared between two groups. Results There was no difference between two study group in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics. Mean scores of BDS and HAS were significantly higher in patients with permanent AF (p< 001). Conclusion Our study demonstrates that patients with Permanent AF had higher BDS and HAS scores compared to control group. In our knowledge our study is the first research that examining the relationship between permanent AF and depression/anxiety disorder in Turkish population.

TÜRK POPÜLASYONUNDA KALICI ATRİYAL FİBRİLASYON ARTAN DEPRESYON VE ANKSİYETE BOZUKLUĞU İLE İLİŞKİLİDİR

Abstract

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk popülasyonunda Kalıcı Atriyal Fibrilasyon (AF) ve depresyon/anksiyete bozukluğu arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. AF hastaları ve ilişkili faktörler yanısıra anksiyete/depresyon üzerine etkileri sınırlı olduğundan daha fazla verinin keşfedilmeye ihtiyacı olduğunu düşündük. Gereç ve Yöntem Bu çalışmaya kalıcı AF'si olan ardışık 45 hasta ve 45 kontrol grubu (sinüs ritmi) dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılar Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ve Hamilton Anksiyete Ölçeği'ni (HAÖ) doldurdu. Duygudurum bozuklukları ve depresyonu değerlendirmek için BDÖ kullanıldı. Anksiyete düzeyinin şiddetini ve belirti dağılımını değerlendirmek için HAÖ kullanıldı. BDÖ ve HAÖ iki grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular İki çalışma grubu arasında klinik ve demografik özellikler açısından fark yoktu. Kalıcı AF'li hastalarda ortalama BDÖ ve HAÖ skorları anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p< 001). Sonuç Çalışmamız, Kalıcı AF'li hastaların kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek BDÖ ve HAÖ skorlarına sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla çalışmamız Türk popülasyonunda kalıcı AF ile depresyon/ anksiyete bozukluğu arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen ilk araştırmadır.
