Of 15,343 patients who contributed data to these analyses, 9,957 received continuous care through 84 days, 7,351 received continuous care through 180 days, and 2,775 had completed 3 or more visits within 84 days.

**

Odds ratio estimates are adjusted for sex, age group, BMI trajectory in the 9 months prior to index, smoking status, anxiety disorder, and sleep disorder, each measured at the beginning of the index treatment episode.
