Name
The First Chongqing MU
Description
Depression is a common mental disorder in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), which increases the risk of cardiovascular events, hospitalization rates, and mortality, but has not received enough attention from patients and medical staff. Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with fewer adverse reactions and higher safety compared to other antidepressants. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of sertraline in patients undergoing MHD with depression. This study used a randomized controlled design and evaluated the depression status of the patients using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). MHD patients with comorbid depression were recruited and divided into the treatment group and the control group. The treatment group received sertraline for antidepressant therapy, while the control group did not receive any antidepressant medication. To investigate the efficacy and safety of sertraline before and after intervention.
