Factors associated with failure to achieve remission and with relapse after remission in patients with major depressive disorder in the PERFORM study

Abstract

Different factors appear to be associated with failure to achieve remission in patients with major depressive disorder and with subsequent relapse in patients who do achieve remission. Patient-reported cognitive dysfunction is an easily measurable and treatable characteristic that may be associated with an increased likelihood of relapse at 6 months in patients who have achieved remission.
