Although esketamine shows efficacy for treatment-resistant depression, its potential effectiveness in cancer-related depression (CRD) has not been well-established. We therefore evaluated the real-world effectiveness and safety of esketamine in CRD using a target trial emulation framework based on anonymized electronic health records from the TriNetX network. Adults aged 18-74 years with CRD...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and esketamine are FDA-approved treatments for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet head-to-head comparative effectiveness data remain limited. Our study compared the effectiveness and safety profiles of rTMS versus esketamine in adults with TRD. This cohort study used target trial emulation with 1:1 propensity score matching on 50...
