Abbreviations: BDI, Beck Depression Inventory; CI, confidence interval; EsDEPACS, the Escitalopram for Depression in Acute Coronary Syndrome trial; HAM-D, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; ITT, intention-to-treat; NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio.

Adjusted for baseline score of depressive measure, obesity, hypertension, total cholesterol level, myocardial infarction diagnosis, Killip class and each use of statin and escitalopram.

The efficacy set group excluded subjects who were randomly assigned to the escitalopram arm but discontinued the trial immediately after the baseline visit.

Values in bold show statistical significance (P-value=0.05).
