Note: No variables in the table above differed as a function of group (ketamine-treated vs. case–control patients) according to unpaired t-tests (for continuous variables) or Chi-squared tests (for categorical variables) (p’s > 0.19). ¥ Established by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for ketamine patients and the Electronic Medical Record review for case–control patients; this led to an increased prevalence of non-specific diagnoses (Depressive Disorder NOS; Other Bipolar and Related) in case–control patients who were not given a structured interview to clarify diagnosis. Groups were matched on the presence of unipolar vs. bipolar forms of depression at baseline.
