PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the frequency of major depression (MD) in long‐term oxygen therapy (LTOT) dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and the effect of depression on patients' compliance with the treatment. DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty‐four consecutive patients were enrolled in the study and diagnosed as stage 4 COPD according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guideline. MD was diagnosed with the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , Fourth Edition/Clinical Version. FINDINGS Thirty‐four (63.0%) patients had MD. MD frequency was significantly higher in patients who were noncompliant with LTOT compared with compliant patients. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS MD is a common psychiatric disorder in COPD patients receiving LTOT.
