Subjects were admitted as inpatients for ketamine infusion and then discharged as outpatients 24 hours following infusion

This was a review and secondary analysis of ketamine data from a research protocol evaluating the effects of ketamine on depressive symptoms (NCT00088699); publications from these results include Zarate CA et al., 2006 (11); Diazgranados et al., 2010 (13); and Zarate et al., 2012 (12).

The inclusion criterion for this investigation was suicidal ideation, not a specific DSM diagnosis. The most common diagnoses were MDD, BD, and PTSD.
