Screening for Depressive Mood During Acute Chikungunya Infection in Primary Healthcare Settings.
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 2018 November 15
Background: We aimed to screen for depressive mood experienced during acute chikungunya (CHIKV) infection, and to evaluate the association of several exposures with the risk of depressive symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of a multicenter cohort study took place and data from 354 adult individuals with confirmed CHIKV infection were analyzed. Participants were recruited in primary health care settings and the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) was used. Prevalence odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated by means of logistic models were used. Results: Depressive mood (PHQ-2 score 3 or higher) was reported by 44.1% of individuals. Subjects with articular effusion (OR = 3.37, 95% CI 1.77⁻8.11), gastrointestinal manifestations (diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain, OR = 1.97, 95 CI 1.21⁻3.19), and higher length of severe arthralgia (reference ≤ 14 days: 15⁻30 days, OR = 3.38, 95% CI 1.78⁻6.41; ≥ 30 days, OR = 1.69, 95% CI 0.95⁻3.01) were more likely to self-report depressive mood. Increasing age (≥ 40 years old, OR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.31⁻0.95) and rash (OR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.30⁻0.98) were associated with a decreased risk of depressive mood. Conclusions: Depressive mood seemed to be a frequent event among analyzed individuals, and markers associated with its risk were identified.
