Association of change in depression and anxiety symptoms with functional outcomes in pulmonary rehabilitation patients
2011, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :An estimated 10 million adults in the US have physician-diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [1]. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was the fourth leading cause of death in the US in 2001 [2] and was the fourth most common discharge diagnosis from Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) in 2003 [3]. Estimates vary, but approximately 40% of COPD patients have clinical depression [4], and 10%–30% have generalized anxiety disorder [5].
