불안장애, 우울장애, 외상 및 스트레스 관련 장애의 심박변이지표 비교 연구 = Comparisons of HRV Parameters Among Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Disorder and Trauma·Stressor Related Disorder

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives：This study aimed to compare autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation and differential relationships with clinical severities between anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, and trauma·stressor related disorder using heart rate variability (HRV) parameters.
Methods：We conducted a retrospective chart review of outpatients from 2017 to 2018 in Stress Clinic of National Center for Mental Health. Total 473 patients were included; 166 anxiety disorder; 184 depressive disorder ; 123 trauma·stressor related disorder. Parameters of 5-min analysis of HRV were compared in three groups.
Additionally, we investigated the differential association of each parameters with Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S) across each group.
Results：No significant differences were found in all HRV parameters between the three groups. However, significant group interactions by CGI-S were found in standard deviation of all RR intervals (SDNN) and the square root of the mean squared differences of successive normal-to-normal intervals (RMSSD) (SDNN, p=0.017 ; RMSSD, p=0.034). A negative relationship between CGI-S and SDNN, RMSSD has been found in anxiety disorder and depressive disorder. However, a positive relationship between CGI-S and SDNN, RMSSD has been found in trauma·stressor related disorder.
Conclusions：Despite of no significant differences of each HRV parameter, our findings suggested the differential associations of HRV parameters with clinical severity among anxiety disorder, depressive disorder and trauma·stressor related disorder. In trauma·stressor related disorder, the clinical severity and degree of ANS dysregulation may differ, so more aggressive treatment is suggested.

연구목적이 연구는 심박변이도(Heart rate variability, HRV) 지표를 이용하여, 불안장애, 우울장애, 외상 및 스트레스관련 장애의 차이를 비교하고 증상 심각도와의 연관성을 보고자 한다.
방 법2017년부터 2018년까지 국립정신건강센터 스트레스 클리닉 내원 환자의 후향적 의무기록을 분석하였다. 총473명 환자(불안장애 166명, 우울장애 184명, 외상 및 스트레스 관련 장애 123명)의 HRV 지표의 진단 군간 차이를 비교하였다. 또한 지표와 전반적 임상 인상 심각도(Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale, CGI-S)의연관성이 진단군에 따른 차이를 보이는지 분석하였다.
결 과세 군에서 HRV 지표는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 심박도 간격(normal-to-normal, NN)의 표준 편차(standard deviation of normal RR intervals, SDNN)와 연속된 NN 간격들의 변이의 제곱 평균값의 루트 값(the square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals, RMSSD)의 CGI-S와의관련성은 그룹 간 유의한 차이가 나타났다(SDNN, p=0.017 ; RMSSD, p=0.034). 불안장애와 우울장애에서는CGI-S에 따른 SDNN, RMSSD가 음의 관련성을 보였지만, 외상 및 스트레스 관련 장애에서는 양의 관련성을보였다.
결 론본 연구에서 세 군의 HRV 지표는 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 각 군에서 지표와 임상적 심각도와의 연관성은다른 양상을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 외상 및 스트레스 관련 장애군은 HRV의 특징 및 임상적 활용이 불안 및우울장애와 다를 수 있음을 시사한다.
