TLDR
The acute and longer-term treatment outcomes associated with each of four successive steps in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial are described and compared.
Abstract
Objective: This report describes the participants and compares the acute and longer-term treatment outcomes associated with each of four successive steps in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial. Method: A broadly representative adult outpatient sample with nonpsychotic major depressive disorder received one (N=3,671) to four (N=123) successive acute treatment steps. Those not achieving remission with or unable to tolerate a treatment step were encouraged to move to the next step. Those with an acceptable benefit, preferably symptom remission, from any particular step could enter a 12-month naturalistic follow-up phase. A score of ≤5 on the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology–Self-Report (QIDS-SR 16 ) (equivalent to ≤7 on the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HRSD 17 ]) defined remission; a QIDS-SR 16 total score of ≥11 (HRSD 17 ≥14) defined relapse. Results: The QIDS-SR 16 remission rates were 36.8%, 30.6%, 13.7%, and 13.0% for the first, second, t...

Rare Copy Number Variation in Treatment-Resistant Major Depressive Disorder

TL;DR: Contribution of rare CNVs to TRD appears to be modest, individually or in aggregate, and the electronic health record-based methodology demonstrated here should facilitate collection of larger TRD cohorts necessary to further characterize these effects.

Esketamine for treatment resistant depression

TL;DR: Both esketamine’s approval for use in TRD and longer-term safety data may position it preferentially above racemic ketamine, although factors such as cost and monitoring requirements may limit its use.

Incomplete response in late-life depression: getting to remission

TL;DR: Evidence is needed to support personalized treatment in late-life depression by testing the moderating role of clinical (eg, comorbid anxiety, medical burden, and executive impairment) and genetic and genetic variables, while also controlling for variability in drug exposure.

Neurobehavioral comorbidities of epilepsy: Role of inflammation

TL;DR: It appears likely that priming of the brain due to early inflammation could provide a means by which subsequent inflammatory processes associated with epilepsy, ASD, and depression may lead to comorbidity.

Cumulative illness rating scale.

TL;DR: A Cumulative Illness Rating Scale, designed to meet the need for a brief, comprehensive and reliable instrument for assessing physical impairment, has been developed and tested and is well suited to a variety of research uses.

The Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS): Psychometric properties.

TL;DR: Analysis of sensitivity to change in symptom severity in an open-label trial of fluoxetine showed that the IDs-C and IDS-SR were highly related to the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression.
