Adms, MD COPD Bkground: Physil tivity (PA) hs een found to e n exellent preditor of mortlity eyond trditionl mesures in COPD. We imed to determine the ssoition etween depression nd nxiety with elerometry-sed PA in ptients with COPD. Methods: We performed ross-setionl nlysis of seline dt from 148 stle ptients with COPD enrolled in n ongoing, longitudinl, oservtionl study. We mesured PA (totl dily step ount) with Stepwth Ativity Monitor over 7 dys, depression nd nxiety with the Hospitl Anxiety nd Depression Sles (HADSs), dyspne with the Shortness of Breth Questionnire, nd funtionl pity with the 6-min wlk test. Results: Inresed nxiety ws ssoited with higher levels of PA suh tht for every one-point inrese in the HADS-Anxiety sore there ws orresponding inrese of 288 step ounts per dy ( steps, P,.001), fter djusting for ll other vriles. Higher levels of depressive symptoms were ssoited with lower PA ( steps, P 5.02) only when nxiety ws in the model. The intertion term for nxiety nd depression pprohed signifine ( 5 26, P 5.10), suggesting tht higher levels of nxiety mitigte the negtive effets of depression on PA. Conlusions: The inresed PA ssoited with nxiety in COPD is, to our knowledge, novel finding. However, it is unler whether nxious ptients with COPD re more restless, nd use inresed psyhomotor tivity s oping mehnism, or whether those with COPD who push themselves to e more physilly tive experiene more nxiety symptoms. Future studies should evlute for nxiety nd PA to etter inform how to improve linil outomes.

The viious dyspne-nxiety-deonditioning spirl hs long een knowledged for suset of ptients with COPD, yet the presumption tht nxiety ontriutes to inresed dyspne with onsequent redutions in PA hs not een formlly tested. 19,20 The reltionship etween nxiety in ptients with COPD nd funtionl pity remins unler. A similr numer of studies hve found tht higher nxiety levels re ssoited with worse funtionl pity, nd similr numer of studies report no reltionship etween nxiety nd funtionl pity We re not wre of ny pulished report on the reltionship etween nxiety nd ojetively onfirmed PA during the dily lives of ptients with COPD.

Therefore, the purpose of this ross-setionl study ws to determine the ssoition etween depression nd nxiety with elerometrysed, free-living, multory PA in ptients with COPD. Study Design nd Settings Mterils nd Methods The COPD Ativity: Serotonin Trnsporter, Cytokine, nd Depression Study (CASCADE) is n ongoing, multisite, prospetive, oservtionl study of sujets with COPD who re eing followed for 2 yers to study the iologi uses nd funtionl onsequenes of depression. This mnusript is ross-setionl, desriptive nlysis of dt from 148 sujets olleted t entry to CASCADE. This study ws pproved y the respetive institutionl review ords t three linil sites: the University of Wshington, Settle (pprovl numer 37332); the VA Puget Sound Helth Cre System (pprovl numer 00240); nd the University of Texs Helth Siene Center t Sn Antonio/South Texs Veterns Helth Cre System (pprovl numer HSC H), nd ws registered with ClinilTrils.gov (NCT ). 28 Prtiipnts We reruited prtiipnts from queries of medil reords nd pulmonry funtion tests, hest linis from the three medil enters, reserh dtse mintined y the investigtors, pulmonry rehilittion progrms, etter-rethers groups, ommunity pulmonry prties, dvertisements, the CASCADE study wesite, nd other referrls. The inlusion riteri were s follows: (1) dignosis of COPD onfirmed y the following: postronhodiltor /FVC, 70%, moderte to very severe disese s defined y the GOLD (Glol Inititive for Chroni Ostrutive Lung Disese) riteri (, 80%), ge 40 yers, nd signifint history of urrent or pst igrette smoking (. 10 pk-yers); (2) stle disese with no ute exertions of COPD in the pst 4 weeks; nd (3) ility to spek, red, nd write English.

The SAM is dul-xis elerometer linked to miroproessor sensor tht ontinuously reords git yles (strides); stride ounts re douled to represent steps. The SAM hs een vlidted for use in ptients with COPD 32 nd is highly urte in mesuring steps ross rnge of speeds ompred with other elerometers on the mrket Prtiipnts were sked to wer the SAM during wking hours for 7 dys.

Sesonlity ws lso onsidered in the nlysis sine PA hs een shown to vry y seson. 36,37 Dt Anlysis We used desriptive sttistis to desrie the smple nd used Person orreltions for the ivrite orreltions. We used independent t tests to ompre highly nxious nd depressed prtiipnts to those with low levels of depression nd nxiety (HADS-A nd HADS-D 8) on totl step ounts. We used multivrite liner regression models to exmine the reltionships etween depression nd nxiety with totl step ounts. We performed dignosti tests to ensure tht the models met the ssumptions for liner regression (eg, prtil orreltion plots, stndrdized residuls, DFITs sttistis, leverge, nd influene). We lso log trnsformed the outome vrile, step ounts; the model remined roust to outliers. All nlyses were onduted using SPSS, version 15.0 (IBM). A P vlue,.05 ws onsidered sttistilly signifint.

5 dyspne to e viewed s mediting ftor. The ddition of sesonlity did not hnge ny of the oeffiients for ll models nd thus the presented dt do not inlude sesons. Disussion A key novel finding of this study is tht nxiety ws signifintly nd independently ssoited with inresed multory PA in ptients with severe COPD, even fter djusting for relevnt ovrites inluding demogrphis, disese severity, funtionl pity, dyspne, nd depression. To our knowledge, this finding hs not een pulished elsewhere. We performed numer of dignosti tests to ensure tht the models met the ssumptions for liner regression, nd, thus, we elieve these findings re vlid nd not due to dt errors or rtifts. Also, the inresed PA in ptients with higher nxiety levels ws not due to inresed wer time, s ptients with high nd low levels of nxiety wore the devie for the sme durtion. We lso found tht depression ws ssoited with less PA only when we djusted for nxiety. The disovery tht for eh one-point inrese in nxiety sore on the HADS-A in these ptients with COPD, there ws orresponding inrese of 288 steps per dy surprised us. These findings re espeilly interesting, sine pulished dt suggest positive reltionship etween nxiety nd dyspne, 26,38 whih re presumed to er negtive onsequenes on PA in ptients with COPD. 39 Inresed dyspne nd low levels of nxiety were ssoited with deresed dily step ounts (dt not shown), ut found no indition of n intertion. In ddition, test for dyspne s meditor of the reltionship etween nxiety nd PA ws negtive, suggesting tht nxiety nd PA re diretly relted. Interestingly, our novel finding in ptients with COPD is supported y two smll studies of primtes nd dults with pni disorder. Vinot nd ollegues 40 found tht in nonhumn primtes, nxiety ws ssoited with greter spontneous loomotor tivity. A study y Skmoto nd ollegues 41 found tht smll smple of dults (14 women, two men) with pni disorder symptoms hd high loomotor tivity s mesured y wrist tigrphy. Thus, it is plusile tht the inresed spontneous psyhomotor tivity is ehviorl mnifesttion of the restlessness ssoited with inresed nxiety, oping mehnism, or tht ptients with high level of nxiety do not effetively leverge energy onservtion strtegies nd re ruing steps with nongol-direted multory tivities. It is lso possile tht ptients who re nxious nd hypervigilnt my see lung disese s something tht they n nd should onquer nd tht the inresed PA my reflet this effort to mintin high level of tivity t ll osts. The linil implitions for these oservtions re interesting euse nxiety s omorid disorder is ssoited with inresed mortlity, 27 while inresed PA is ssoited with lower mortlity 4 in ptients with COPD. Perhps mild levels of nxiety tht result in higher dily step ounts nd less sedentry time my e slurious 42 ; this onjeture would need to e onfirmed in future studies. The ssoitions mong PA, depression, nd use of supplementl oxygen lso deserve ttention. Similr to the study y Wtz nd ollegues, 18 we lso found tht depression ws not signifint preditor of PA. However, when we djusted for nxiety in the finl model, high level of depressive symptoms ws ssoited with worse PA. Depression nd nxiety pper to hve different effets on PA with nxiety, ttenuting the negtive impt of depression on totl step ounts. Our findings suggest tht future predition models of PA should inlude djustments for nxiety. Use of supplementl oxygen ws not ssoited with fewer totl-step ount in our study. This finding is somewht ontrry to typil ssumptions y liniins tht ptients who rry or roll their oxygen tnks re less likely to e physilly tive, ut is onsistent with one other pulished study. 43 Limittions Our findings my hve limited generlizility to other ptients with COPD who experiene omoridities tht hve n underlying inflmmtory proess, sine we exluded these individuls from the prent study. In ddition, ptients who were using prednisone hronilly were exluded. Alterntively, these exlusions my hve provided level of ontrol over other omoridities to isolte the effets of nxiety on PA. This ws ross-setionl nlysis, thus, it is not ler if inresed PA is ehviorl mnifesttion of nxiety or oping mehnism for nxiety, or if ptients who push to remin tive experiene more nxiety due to inresed dyspne with tivities. In ddition, it is possile tht we did not hve suffiient power in this study to detet n intertion etween inresed dyspne nd low levels of nxiety. Another limittion is tht our tivity monitor my hve lso ptured involuntry nonmultory tivity tht is typilly ssoited with highly nxious sttes. Our smple ws predominntly men, tended to hve higher funtioning, hd low men sores for nxiety nd depression, ws ommitted to longitudinl reserh study, nd thus my not e representtive of the lrger popultion of ptients with COPD. Future investigtions ould exmine hnge in nxiety stte nd its reltionship with PA. Additionl sptil-lotion dt (eg, GPS to tringulte with elerometer dt) will help estlish whether the inresed PA is ourring outdoors or indoors ssoited with tivities of dily living. journl.pulitions.hestnet.org CHEST / 144 / 1 / JULY Downloded From: y Dvid Kinnison on 07/08/2013

6 Conlusions We onlude tht nxiety is ssoited with inresed dily PA in seleted smple of ptients with COPD. It is unler whether ptients with COPD who hve higher levels of nxiety re more restless nd use inresed psyhomotor tivity s oping mehnism, or whether those with COPD who push themselves to e more physilly tive experiene more nxiety symptoms. The linil implitions of these oservtions re interesting euse nxiety s omorid disorder is ssoited with inresed mortlity in ptients with COPD, wheres inresed PA is ssoited with lower mortlity in tht group. Bsed on our results, future COPD studies should inlude ojetive mesures of PA nd systemti evlutions for nxiety to etter inform liniins out how to improve the mngement nd linil outomes of these ptients.
