Abstract

Background The clinical and etiological significance of the early-late onset distinction in chronic major depressive disorder was explored.Method Subjects were 289 outpatients with DSM-III-R chronic major depression drawn from a multi-site study comparing the efficacy of sertraline and imipramine in the acute and long-term treatment of chronic depression. Patients received comprehensive evaluations using semi-structured interviews and rating scales.Results Early-onset chronic major depression was associated with a longer index major depressive episode and higher rates of recurrent major depressive episodes, comorbid personality disorders, lifetime substance use disorders, depressive personality traits, and a history of psychiatric hospitalization. In addition, more early-onset patients tended to have a family history of mood disorders. The early-late onset distinction was not associated with differences in symptom severity, functional impairment, or treatment response.Limitations Family members were not interviewed directly; there were a large number of statistical comparisons; and interrater reliability of the assessments was not evaluated.Conclusions Early-onset chronic major depression has a more malignant course and is associated with greater comorbidity than late-onset chronic major depression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
