摘　　要：Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and depression are closely linked.People with T2DM are at increased risk of developing depression and vice versa.T2DM and depression comorbid conditions adversely affect Health-Related Quality of Life(HRQOL)and management of T2DM.In this study,we assessed depression and HRQOL among patients with T2DM in Dhaka,Bangladesh.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary-level hospitals in Dhaka,Bangladesh.Data were collected from 318 patients with T2DM.A set of standard tools,PHQ-9(for assessing depression)and EuroQol-5D-5L(for assessing the HRQOL),were used.Statistical analyses,including Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests,Wilcoxon(Mann-Whitney),and Spearman’s correlation coefficient tests,were performed using SPSS(v.20).Results The majority of the patients(58%)were females,with a mean age(standard deviation)of 52±10 years,and 74%of patients lived in urban areas.The prevalence of depression was 62%(PHQ-9 score≥5).Over three-quarters(76%)reported problems in the anxiety/depression dimension of EQ-5D,followed by pain/discomfort(74%),mobility(40%),self-care(36%),and usual activities(33%).The depression and T2DM comorbid condition were associated with all the five dimensions of EQ-5D(χ^(2)statistics with df=1 was 52.33,51.13,52.67,21.61,7.92 for mobility,self-care,usual activities,pain/discomfort,and anxiety/depression dimensions respectively,p-<0.01).The mean EQ-5D index(0.53 vs.0.75)and the mean EQ-5D VAS(65 vs.76)both showed lower values in T2DM patients with depression compared to T2DM patients without depression(Wilcoxon test,p-<0.001).Conclusions We conclude that the majority of the patients with T2DM had comorbid conditions,and the HRQOL was negatively affected by comorbid depression in T2DM patients.This suggests the importance of timely screening,diagnosis,treatment,and follow-up of comorbid depression in T2DM patients to improve overall health and QOL.
