Trajectories of somatic drug utilization patterns in Major Depressive Disorder: A Study protocol for a Danish nationwide register study using Latent Class Analysis
Abstract:Background: Major Depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous, multi-etiological disorder that is associated with chronic medical conditions and a high somatic treatment burden. A better understanding of the somatic diseases and treatment burden in MDD can be provided through a mapping of the somatic drug utilization patterns over time. The objective of this study is therefore to characterize the somatic drug profiles and their transitions over time (i.e. trajectories) among MDD patients. Methods: This des… Show more
