  • FIBSER = Frequency, Intensity and Burden of Side Effects Rating; QIDS-SR16 = 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology–Self-Report; SAE = serious adverse event; SAFTEE-SI = Systematic Assessment for Treatment Emergent Events–Systematic Inquiry; WSAS = Work and Social Adjustment Scale.

  • Notes: WSAS scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater levels of impairment. SCQ scores range from 0 to 45, with higher scores indicating greater number of disorders and greater levels of impairment. QIDS-SR16 scores range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depression. FIBSER scores range from 0 to 6 for each of the indexes.

  • a Adjusted for treatment, age, education, employment, age at first episode, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure (see Supplemental Table 1, available at http://www.annfammed.org/content/10/1/23/suppl/DC1).

  • b Patients were classified as being in remission if their last 2 QIDS-SR16 scores were less than 6.

  • c Patients were classified as having a response if they had a decrease in QIDS-SR16 score of at least 50% from baseline.

  • d An extremely nonnormal distribution required binning.

  • e Significant after Bonferroni correction (P <.0083).
