Summary

Clinical Details

Official title: The Effect of Advair Diskus Treatment on Depression in Nursing Home Residents With COPD

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

To Determine the Effect of Treating COPD Patients With Advair Diskus for 16 Weeks on the Cornell Depression Scale or Section D SUM of the Minimum Data Set 3.0

To Determine if Changes in Pulmonary Function (FEC/FVC) Were Associated With a Reduction in Depression as Assessed by Using the Cornell Depression Scale or Section D SUM of the Minimum Data Set 3.0 During Advair Diskus Treatment.

Pulmonary Function FEC/FVC Ratio at 16 Weeks

Detailed description: We are studying 35 residents in the ECF with a diagnosis of COPD. We are evaluating them for depressive symptoms using the Cornell Depression Scale and the MDS 3. 0 section D. We are selecting patients who are not currently on treatment with Advair and starting them on Advair Diskus50/250 1 inhalation bid for a period of 16 weeks and reassessing the Cornell Depression SCale and MDS3. 0 section D looking for any changes. We are also going to measure FEV1 and FVC using spirometry before treatment and at the end of 16 weeks. This is a pilot study. The numbers are not necessarily adequate to achieve statistical difference-we are looking for trends.
