OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine whether demographic characteristics (i.e., sex, age and education) correlate with total scores of the Czech version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), understand the factorial structure of this scale, compare our results with findings of studies conducted in other countries and provide preliminary normative data for use in clinical practice. METHODS: Data of 450 participants were analysed using correlation analysis, non-parametric tests and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). RESULTS: Women, and participants with lower education, tended to score higher than men, and participants with higher education. There was no significant relationship between age and total scores. CFA confirmed two factors: cognitive-affective and somatic. Czech participants scored lower than participants in other studies. Preliminary normative data are presented in the form of percentile values for the whole sample and stratified according to gender and education level. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend the usage of the BDI-II total score while taking into account also the cognitive-affective and somatic factor subscores. The comparison of our results with other foreign findings shows the need for the development of locally specific normative values for self-reported depression scales. KEY POINTS Women scored higher in the BDI-II than men. Participants with lower education scored higher in the BDI-II than participants with higher education. CFA confirmed two factors: cognitive-affective and somatic. Preliminary normative data for the Czech version of the BDI-II are stratified according to gender and education.

The aim of this study was to determine the neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric effects of continuous positive airway pressure treatment on patients with obstructive sleep apnea. This cross-sectional, prospective, observational study included 126 patients with sleep apnea. The following tests were performed: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for the evaluation of cognitive impairment, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, together with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for the evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms and a person's general level of daytime sleepiness. The first measurement did not show neurocognitive impairment or a higher level of depressive and anxiety symptoms in 126 patients with obstructive sleep apnea in comparison to normative standards. After the 3-month treatment indicated for 43 patients with obstructive sleep apnea, we did not find any significant improvement in cognitive performance (p = .213). However, patients with sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure treatment did show significantly less daytime sleepiness, anxiety and depressive symptoms (all p < .001). In conclusion, short-term (3 months) treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea can substantially alleviate their daytime sleepiness, as well as depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients further increasing their already high cardiovascular risk. As T2D patients typically not report OSA symptoms, systematic screening for OSA in this population is warranted. We aimed to determine the readiness of T2D patients to undergo screening and to compare their adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with "regular" sleep clinic patients who typically seek medical advice on their own initiative. We therefore recruited 494 consecutive T2D patients and offered them OSA screening using home sleep monitoring (type IV device). All participants in high risk of moderate-to-severe OSA were recommended home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) followed by CPAP therapy. Patients were followed-up for 12 months and outcomes compared to 228 consecutive sleep clinic patients undergoing HSAT. Among 307 screened T2D patients, 94 (31%) were identified at high risk of moderate-to-severe OSA. Subsequently, 54 patients underwent HSAT, 51 were recommended, and 38 patients initiated CPAP (acceptance 75%). Among 228 sleep clinic patients, 92 (40%) were recommended and 74 patients initiated CPAP (acceptance 80%). After 1 year, 15 (39%) T2D and 29 (39%) sleep clinic patients showed good CPAP adherence (use ≥ 4 h/night ≥ 70% nights). In conclusion, 20 T2D patients needed to be screened in order to obtain one successfully treated patient. OSA screening in T2D patients identified 31% with moderate-to-severe OSA. Once diagnosed, their CPAP acceptance and adherence did not differ from sleep clinic patients. However, the reasons for the high dropout during the screening-diagnostic process impacting the overall success of the screening program need to be identified and addressed.

Úvod: Srdeční zástava (SZ) s následnou cerebrální hypoxií vede k multifaktoriálnímu poškození mozku. Kognitivní deficit a vyšší míra depresivních projevů jsou nejčastěji popisovanými psychickými důsledky SZ. Cílem předkládané studie je charakterizovat psychosociální důsledky SZ. Metody: Průzkumného šetření se účastnilo 113 osob. K 62 pacientům po SZ bylo dle demografických charakteristik a premorbidní inteligenční úrovně přiřazeno 51 zdravých jedinců. Účastníkům byly předloženy testy kognitivní výkonnosti (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA), depresivních (Beck Depression Inventory-II, BDI-II) a úzkostných projevů (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) a sociálních faktorů krize středního věku (Škála faktorů krize středního věku, ŠKSV). Výsledky: Analýza ukázala, že pacienti po SZ vykazují nižší kognitivní výkonnost (p = 0,016) a vyšší míru symptomů aktuální úzkosti (p = 0,023). V úrovni depresivních symptomů (p = 0,435) a v dlouhodobé úzkostnosti (p = 0,542) se pacienti po SZ nelišili od kontrolního souboru. Ex-post facto analýza založená na logistické regresi poukazuje na to, že nejsilnějším psychologickým prediktorem SZ je pohlaví (OR = 4,45) a míra aktuálně prožívané úzkosti (OR = 0,50). Analýza diskriminační funkce ukazuje, že predikce vzniku SZ je závislá na věku, kognitivní výkonnosti a na míře aktuální úzkosti (λ = 0,81, p = 0,028). Závěr: Výsledky studie ukazují, že SZ má významný vliv na rozvoj nežádoucích kognitivních a neuropsychiatrických projevů. Zařazení psychosociální péče a neuropsychiatrické léčby do komplexní péče o pacienty po SZ je žádoucí.
Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) leads to cerebral hypoxia resulting in multifactorial brain injury. Cognitive impairment and a higher degree of depressive symptoms are the most frequently described mental health problems after CA. The aim of the present study is to characterize psychosocial sequelae of CA. Methods: The study population included 113 subjects. 62 patients after CA were matched to 51 healthy controls according to demographic characteristics and premorbid intelligence level. Cognitive test (MoCA), inventories of depressive (BDI-II) and anxiety symptoms (STAI) and midlife crisis scale (MCS) were administrated to study participants. Results: The analysis showed that CA patients have a decreased level of cognitive performance (p = 0.016) and a higher degree of state anxiety symptoms (p = 0.023). There was no significant difference between CA patients and control subjects in the degree of depressive (p = 0.435) and trait anxiety symptoms (p = 0.542). Ex-post facto analysis based on logistic regression indicated that the strongest predictors of being classified as having had a cardiac arrest was male gender and state anxiety (OR = 4.45 and 0.50). Discriminant function analysis showed that group prediction was sensitive to age, cognitive performance, and state anxiety (λ = 0.81, p = 0.028). Conclusions: Our results show that CA has significant cognitive and neuropsychiatric sequelae. The integration of psychosocial care and neuropsychiatric treatment into the complex medical care of CA patients seems to be justified.
