| MADRS, final | 5.4 (2.9) | 17.6 (6.4) | t = 10.51 | 50.3 | <0.0001 |
| Final Sertraline Dose | 97.8 (36.5) | 106.1 (38.8) | t = 0.93 | 72 | 0.3578 |
Age and age of onset presented in years. Final of sertraline is in milligrams. Continuous variables presented as mean (standard deviation). Two-tailed pooled t-tests used for continuous variables (Satterthwaite t-test for unequal variances), chi-square test for sex, and Fisher's exact test for race. CIRS = Cumulative Illness Rating Scale; MADRS = Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale.
