Major depression following smoking cessation

Lirio S. Covey, Alexander H. Glassman, Fay Stetner·1997·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The authors examined the incidence and predictors of major depression following successful smoking cessation treatment, with special attention to the influence of past major depression. METHOD: Three-month follow-up data were obtained from 126 subjects who successfully completed a 10-week smoking cessation program. RESULTS: The 3-month incidence of new major depression following treatment for nicotine dependence was 2%, 17%, and 30% among subjects with histories of no major depression, single major depression, and recurrent major depression, respectively. A history of major depression and persistent withdrawal symptoms independently predicted posttreatment major depression. CONCLUSIONS: Continued patient care beyond the 2-4-week period associated with the nicotine withdrawal syndrome is indicated when abstinence is attempted by smokers with prior 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.
