ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To estimate the prevalence of known and undiagnosed depression in patients with type 2 diabetes attended in primary care setting in Spain, and to determine the factors associated with the presence of depression.METHODS:
This was a cross-sectional and multicenter study performed in a random sample of patients with type 2 diabetes attended in 21 primary care centers. Depressive symptoms were measured with the self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).RESULTS:
A total of 411 patients were analyzed (mean age 70.8 (SD 10.3) years; 53.8% women). 29.2% of patients met the diagnostic criteria of depression, of whom 17% had known depression and 12.2% undiagnosed depression (PHQ-9 score ≥10, without a previous diagnosis of depression). Depression was more common in women (43.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 34.5-52.3%), widow (33.3%; 95% CI 27.9-38.7%), and hypothyroidism (12.5%; 95% CI 8.7-16.3%). Cardiovascular risk factors, the degree of control, complications related to diabetes, antidiabetic therapy and the number of drugs were not associated with the presence of depression.CONCLUSIONS:
The prevalence of depression was high in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, in approximately 40% of patients depression was undiagnosed. The complications related to diabetes and antidiabetic therapy were not associated with the presence of depression.Palavras-chave
