a

Presented as numerator df/denominator df.

b

Scores range from 0 to 27, with more than 20 indicating very severe depression.

c

Scores range from 57 to 113 in the ELEKT-D: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) vs Ketamine in Patients With Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) (ELEKT-D) trial, with higher scores indicating higher premorbid intelligence.

d

Significant after false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons.

e

Scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating normal cognition.

f

Scores range from −11 to 62 in ELEKT-D, with higher scores indicating better functioning.

g
