“…Objectives To describe the population that meets the criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) in British Columbia (BC), compare patterns of healthcare utilisation between those with MDD who are and are not prescribed pharmacotherapy, and assess these relationships in models that control for potential confounding variables.Design We used a population cross-sectional study design among a cohort of individuals living with MDD and examined the relationship between pharmacotherapy and healthcare utilisation between 2019 and 2020 using linked billing and administrative data.Setting This study identified individuals with MDD using a validated case definition of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes in BC, Canada.Participants The final study cohort included 549 029 adult participants who met the MDD case definition.Explanatory variable Explanatory variable was the use of prescription antidepressant medication during the study period, based on BC PharmaNet data.Covariates Covariates include sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, urban/rural residence, neighbourhood income quintile and comorbidities).Primary outcome measure Primary outcome measure was healthcare utilisation (outpatient physician visits, emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalisations).Results We stratified our analysis based on whether study participants were classified as ‘recently incident’ or ‘actively prevalent’. …”
