The relationship of cardiorespiratory function, fatigue and depressive symptoms in PLHIV.

ABSTRACT: Fatigue and depressive symptoms are prevalent and associated with poor clinical outcomes, though the underlying physiological mechanisms of fatigue and depression are poorly understood. We examined the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on fatigue and depressive symptoms in one-hundred and nine PLHIV. CRF was examined by maximal cardiorespiratory stress test and determined by peak oxygen uptake. Patient-reported fatigue was examined utilizing the HIV-Related Fatigue Scale. Depressive symptoms were examined with the Beck Depression Inventory and PROMISE 29. Data was collected at baseline and six months. Generalized estimating equations were used to determine the effect of CRF on fatigue and depressive symptoms over time. Participants were approximately 53 years old, 86% African American (n = 93), and 65% male (n = 70). After controlling for age and sex, fatigue was inversely associated with CRF (β = -0.163; p = .005). Depressive symptoms were not associated with CRF as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (p = .587) nor PROMIS 29 (p = .290), but over time, depressive symptoms decreased (p = .051). Increased CRF was associated with decreased fatigue levels, but was not associated with depressive symptoms. These results should guide future research aimed at how CRF might inform interventions to improve fatigue in PLHIV.

Project description:Purpose of studyTo characterize the prevalence and longitudinal effects of pain in older Veteran and non-Veteran women.Design and methodsData on 144,956 participants in the Women's Health Initiative were analyzed. At baseline, Veteran status, pain severity, and pain interference with activity were assessed. Outcomes of physical function, depressive symptoms, fatigue, and sleep quality were reported at baseline by all study participants and longitudinally on two follow-up occasions (3 years and 13-18 years after baseline) in the observational study participants (n = 87,336).ResultsAt baseline, a total of 3,687 (2.5%) had a history of military service and 22,813 (15.8%) reported that pain limited their activity level moderately to extremely during the past 4 weeks. Prevalence of pain interference did not differ in Veterans and non-Veterans (16.8% and 15.7%, respectively; p= .09). At baseline, women with moderate-to-extreme pain interference had substantially worse physical function and greater symptoms of depression, fatigue, and insomnia than those with less pain (p < .001 for all comparisons), adjusting for several social, behavioral, and health related factors. There were no significant military service by pain interference interactions for any of the outcomes (p > .2), indicating that the effect of pain interference on outcomes at baseline did not vary between Veterans and non-Veterans. Moderate-to-extreme pain interference was associated with a greater rate of decline in physical function over time (p < .001) and higher incidence of limited physical functioning (p < .001), but these effects did not vary by Veteran status. Similar results were observed with pain severity as the exposure variable.ImplicationsAs the Veteran population ages and the number of women exposed to combat operations grows, there will be an increased need for health care services that address not only pain severity and interference but also other disabling comorbid symptoms.

Project description:BackgroundIn addition to poor survival rates, individuals with glioblastoma (GBM) are at risk of neurocognitive impairment due to multiple factors. This study aimed to characterize neurocognitive impairment, neurobehavioral symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms in newly diagnosed GBM patients; and to examine whether neurobehavioral symptoms, fatigue, sleep, and depressive symptoms influence neurocognitive performance.MethodsThis study was part of a prospective, inception cohort, single-arm exercise intervention in which GBM patients underwent a neuropsychological assessment shortly after diagnosis (median 4 weeks; ie, baseline) and 3, 6, 12, and 18 months later, or until tumor progression. Here, we present baseline data. Forty-five GBM patients (mean age = 55 years) completed objective neurocognitive tests, and self-report measures of neurobehavioral symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms.ResultsCompared to normative samples, GBM patients scored significantly lower on all neurocognitive tests, with 34 (76%) patients exhibiting neurocognitive impairment. Specifically, 53% exhibited impairment in memory retention, 51% in executive function, 42% in immediate recall, 41% in verbal fluency, and 24% in attention. There were high rates of clinically elevated sleep disturbance (70%), fatigue (57%), depressive symptoms (16%), and neurobehavioral symptoms (27%). A multivariate regression analysis revealed that depressive symptoms are significantly associated with neurocognitive impairment.ConclusionsGBM patients are vulnerable to adverse outcomes including neurocognitive impairment, neurobehavioral symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms shortly after diagnosis, prior to completing chemoradiation. Those with increased depressive symptoms are more likely to demonstrate neurocognitive impairment, highlighting the need for early identification and treatment of depression in this population.
