Vadiei N, et al. - Using 2014–2015 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) data, researchers examined patterns and predictors of depression treatment among adults with non–dialysis-dependent CKD in the United States. In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, the final study sample consisted of visits by 9.02 million adults with CKD and depression in the US. From 2014-2015, approximately one-half of US ambulatory care visits involving adults with CKD and depression had a record of depression treatment. They noted depression treatment more frequently among adults being seen for treatment of a chronic problem. In addition, a 9% higher likelihood of receiving depression treatment was observed for each unit increase in total number of medications. Finally, 63% less frequent reception of depression treatment was observed for adults receiving care in the South.
