a. Unadjusted P = 0.830 from chi-squared test (d.f. = 4); adjusted P = 0.682 from logistic regression with clinical site, age, psychosis status and polarity as adjustment variables; individuals who dropped out considered as non-remitters for logistic analyses.
b. Did not remit and received fewer than ten electroconvulsive therapy treatments.
