Abstract

Background Functional brain imaging studies of major depression have consistently revealed hypometabolism or hypoperfusion in specific regions of the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. Studies of cognitive functioning in major depression have suggested that some but not all subjects exhibit cognitive deficits that are consistent with frontal-subcortical dysfunction, although the reasons for this heterogeneity are unclear. In this study, we explored this heterogeneity among depressed subjects by examining the relationship between cognitive functioning and treatment outcome.Method Subjects with major depression were administered a complete neuropsychological test battery prior to treatment with fluoxetine.Results There were no significant differences between responders and nonresponders to fluoxetine in terms of age, educational achievement, number of past episodes of depression, and estimated premorbid IQ. However, nonresponders performed significantly worse than responders on several pretreatment measures of executive functioning, after controlling for baseline group differences in depression severity.Limitations The results are based on a small sample of primarily female subjects, resulting in low statistical power and less generalizability to samples of male subjects with depression.Conclusions The findings suggest that subtle prefrontal dysfunction in subjects with major depression may be predictive of poor response with particular medications. Assessment of the executive functions may play a particular role in pretreatment identification of subjects likely to respond to specific medications.

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.
