Abbreviation: NA1 is not appropriate (inappropriate to estimate because the N of the denominator is 0 for the unweighted estimate and thus the corresponding weighted estimates based partly or entirely on the control sample are also inappropriate); NA2 is not appropriate (inappropriate because weighting would be based on N = 2); AD is antidepressant; PPV is positive predictive value of an administrative diagnosis; NPV is the negative predictive value of an administrative diagnosis.
