Depressive disorders in Europe: prevalence figures from the ODIN study
Open accessAbstract
Background: This is the first report on the epidemiology of depressive disorders from the European Outcome of Depression International Network (ODIN) study. Aims: To assess the prevalence of depressive disorders in randomly selected samples of the general population in five European countries. Method: The study was designed as a cross-sectional two-phase community study using the Beck Depression Inventory during Phase 1, and the Schedule for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry during Phase 2. Results: An analysis of the combined sample ( n =8.764) gave an overall prevalence of depressive disorders of 8.56% (95% Cl 7.05–10.37). The figures were 10.05% (95% Cl 7.80–12.85) for women and 6.61% (95% Cl 4.92–8.83) for men. The centres fall into three categories: high prevalence (urban Ireland and urban UK), low prevalence (urban Spain) and medium prevalence (the remaining sites). Conclusions: Depressive disorder is a highly prevalent condition in Europe. The major finding is the wide difference in the prevalence of depressive disorders found across the study sites.

“These studies, based in selected samples from Liverpool in the case of the ODIN study (Ayuso-Mateos et al., 2001), and south east London in the case of the SELCoH study (Hatch et al., 2012), have reported higher prevalence estimates for depression, varying between 5% and 15% depending on the specific study.”

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.
