It is necessary to find out depression-related factors in lung cancer patients. Methods: The study was a retrospective cohort study using medical records, and was a non-equivalent comparison group design. It involved patients diagnosed of lung cancer at the Konkuk University Medical Center from January to December 2012. Between antidepressants prescription group and non prescription group, socio-demographic factors, clinical factors, treatment-related factors and other factors were analyzed statistically. Results: Antidepressant prescription group consisted of 23 people and non-prescription group of 206 people. Prescription rate of quetiapine was the highest 47.8% (11/23), followed by escitalopram (43.5%, 10/23), amitryptyline and trazodone (30.4%, 7/23). The prescription group was prescribed with an average of 1.9 antidepressants. Antidepressants were prescribed after average of 248 days from lung cancer diagnosis and prescription period per patient was average 177.5 days. According to the result of univariate logistic regression analysis between 2 groups, factors such as number of outpatient visit, number of admission, days of hospitalization, sleep disorder, and comorbidity were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). However, According multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that number of admission, days of hospitalization and sleep disorder were statistically significant (p < 0.05) excluding comorbidity. Conclusion: About 10% of lung cancer patients had received a prescription for antidepressants after lung cancer diagnosis. A sleep disorder, number of hospitalization and length of stay were identified as factors influencing the prescribing antidepressants.

World Health Organization(WHO) Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology에의해관리되고있는 Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System(ATC code) 를기준으로, ATC code가 N06A(Antidepressants) 에속하며, 식품의약품안전처 ( 이하, 식약처 ) 허가사항의효능및효과가 우울장애 를포함하며건국대학교병원내 formulary에등재된약제를항우울제로정의하였다. 15) 또한 ATC code가 N05A(Antipsychotics) 에속하나, 식약처허가사항의효능및효과가 주요우울장애치료의보조요법 을포함하며, off label로 major depressive disorder 에단독요법으로사용되는 quetiapine을조사대상항우울제로선정하였다. 본연구는건국대학교병원 IRB(Institutional Review Board) 승인을득하여진행되었으며, 시험대상자동의변경또는면제가시험대상자의존엄, 권리및복지에불리하게영향을주지않아시험대상자의동의를면제받았다. 자료의수집및분석의무기록을이용한후향적코호트연구로인구사회학적요인 (Socio-demographic factors), 임상적요인 (Clinical factors), 치료관련요인 (Treatment factors), 기타요인 (other factors) 으로조사하였다. 인구사회학적요인으로성별, 연령대, 직업유무, 교육수준, 결혼상태, 종교유무, 의료보험유형을조사하였다. 16) 임상적요인으로폐암의병리학적진단, 비소세포폐암 (non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC) 환자의경우 TNM 병기, 체질량지수 (Body mass index, BMI), 통증유무, 수면장애여부, 동반질환유무를조사하였다. NSCLC의병기는항우울제비처방군은조사기간중제일나중에기록된의무기록의진단병기를, 항우울제처방군은항우울제처방이최초있던시점의병기를조사하여진단병기와우울증과의상관성을평가해보고자하였다. 통증및수면장애와우울증과의상관성은항우울제처방군은항우울제처방이최초있었던시점의마약성진통제또는비마약성진통제처방여부및수면제처방여부를, 항우울제비처방군에서는 2012년제일나중에기록된의무기록의마약성진통제또는비마약성진통제처방여부및수면제처방여부를조사하여평가해보고자하였다. 동반질환여부는항우울제처방군의경우항우울제처방이최초있었던시점의동반질환여부를, 항우울제비처방군의경우 2012년의무기록의동반질환여부를조사하였다. 수술, 방사능치료, 항암화학요법, 경구용표적항암치료제투여, 현재치료여부, 완치, 진단후경과일수를치료관련요인으로조사하였다. 수술은전폐절제술 (pneumonectomy), 폐엽절제술 (lobectomy), 쐐기절제술 (wedge resection), 분절절제술 (segmentectomy) 수술여부를조사하였다. 항암화학요법은복지부분류 421( 항악성종양제 ), 617( 주로악성종양에작용하는것 ) 인약제중폐암에효능효과가있는주사제와, 경구용표적항암치료제 gefitinib, erlotinib, crizotinib의투여여부를조사하였다. 수술, 방사능치료여부의경우는항우울제처방군은항우울제최초처방시점이전의자료를, 항우울제비처방군은 2012년 12월 31일이전의자료를조사하였다. 항암화학요법여부, 경구용표적항암치료제투여여부의조사는항우울제처방군은항우울제최초처방시점, 항우울제비처방군은 2012년을기준으로했다. 또한연구관찰기간동안방사능치료, 항암화학요법, 경구용표적항암치료제중한가지이상받고있을경우현재치료중으로분류하였다. 기타요인으로생활습관인자인흡연력, 음주력과외래진료횟수, 입원횟수, 재원일수, 중환자실재원여부를조사하였다. 외래진료횟수, 입원횟수, 재원일수, 중환자실재원여부는항우울제처방군의경우처방

폐암환자의항우울제처방현황과관련요인분석 / 113 강의학과적치료를받는경우는치료대상중일부라는선행연구의결과와도일치하였다. 6) 현재연구에서우울증치료제로처방이된약제는 10개성분으로 SSRIs 처방환자 (60.9%, 14/23) 가삼환계항우울제처방환자 (34.8%, 8/23) 보다많았다. 이는 SSRIs가내약성이좋아서인것으로보이며 19) 우울증치료로가장많이처방되는계열이 SSRIs라는유럽 12개국에서실시된연구결과와유사했다. 20) 불면증을동반한우울증에서는 trazodone이나 mirtazapine, 또는삼환계항우울제와같이졸리는항우울제를선호하는데 19) 본연구에서도항우울제처방군중불면증이있는환자 13명중 11명은 trazodone, mirtazapine, 삼환계항우울제를처방받고있었다. 기존보고된역학연구에서여성, 낮은경제수준, 주요우울장애과거력, 뇌졸중, 치매등이우울장애, 우울증상의위험인자라고밝혔으나 21-22) 폐암환자로대상을제한했던본연구에서는항우울제처방의요인으로성별의경우는유의한요인이아니었다 (p = 0.1795). 또한 173명의남성연구대상중 20 명이, 56 명의여성연구대상중 3 명이항우울제처방군으로, 남성의경우가항우울제처방의비율이높았다. 이결과는국내일개종합병원에서지속적인외래내원폐암환자를대상으로한스티그마, 디스트레스연구에서남성이여성보다스티그마가심한것으로나타난결과와일치하였다. 12,23) 동반질환여부의경우조금더세분화하여조사하지않았기에, 뇌졸중, 치매환자에있어서의우울증상은확인할수없었다. 선행연구에따르면우울한환자에서재원일수가늘어난다는연구가있는데, 우울과재원일수증가의선행관계는일치하지않지만, 본연구에서도우울과재원일수가상관관계가있는결과가나왔다. 24) 수면장애의요인이폐암환자의삶의질과관련이있다는연구가있는데, 본연구의결과와도일치하였다. 25) 2000년한연구에따르면 SCLC환자는 NSCLC에비해우울증이 3배이상 (25% vs 9%, p <0.001) 이환된다고보고되었는데, 본연구에서는 SCLC 환자군의 9%, NSCLC 환자군의 10% 가우울증치료제처방군으로, 유의한차이를밝히지는못하였다 (p =0.865). 26) 이러한차이는선행연구에서는완화치료 (palliative care) 를받는말기환자를대상으로하였고, 본연구는모든병기의폐암환자를대상으로실시한점에서동일한결과를도출하지못한것으로평가된다. 진행성폐암에서호흡곤란, 통증과같은신체적증상과불안, 우울등의심리적증상과의관련이있다고연구된바있다. 27) 본연구에서도통증이있는환자의 13% 가처방군이었고, 통증이없는환자의 5.4% 가처방군으로통증이있는환자에서항우울제처방이높게났다 (p = 0.0572). 항암화학요법을받는경우약제의부작용과관련하여우울이증가한다고보고하고있으나, 본연구에서는항암화학요법의여부는항우울제처방에유의한요인은아니었다 (p = 0.525). 28) 외래내원폐암환자를대상으로 한스티그마, 디스트레스연구에서우울정도 (t = 3.259, p = 0.001) 는현재치료를받는경우가치료를받지않는경우보다높게나타났으나 12) 본연구에서는현재치료여부가항우울제처방에유의한요인은아니었다 (p = 0.116). 항우울제와암의상관성에대해논란이있으나 SSRIs 장기복용은폐암유발위험을감소시킬수있으며 29) 우울증은폐암환자의사망률을높이는질환이므로 30) 폐암환자의우울증치료는고려되어야한다. 본연구의경우단일기관에서진행된연구로연구결과를더큰환자군집단으로적용시주의를요한다. 연구설계상의무기록을활용한후향적연구라는제한점을배제할수없으며, 폐암진단전에우울증진단을받은환자이거나타의료기관에서전원되어폐암진단과정신건강의학과진료의시간적선후관계를판단하기어려운환자들의경우본연구에서제외되어실제우울증으로진단받은환자들은본연구의결과보다많을수있다는점을고려해야한다. 그럼에도불구하고, 본연구에서는본원에내원한모든병기의전체폐암환자를대상으로항우울제처방현황을분석하였고, 항우울제처방군과비처방군간의관련요인을비교분석한연구로의의가있다고할수있다. 결론 본연구는폐암환자에서항우울제처방현황을분석하고, 처방군과비처방군의인구사회학적요인, 임상적요인, 치료관련요인및기타요인을확인하고자하였다. 연구대상환자중약 10% 에서폐암진단이후우울증상으로항우울제를처방받고있었으며, 항우울제처방군의경우수면장애여부, 입원횟수및재원일수가폐암환자에서의항우울제처방에영향을미치는요인으로확인되었다. 폐암환자들의항암치료와더불어우울증에대한진단과치료가고려되어야한다. 참고문헌 1.
