We analysed the available data on minimally adequate treatment (MAT) for major depressive disorder globally with the aim of providing a useful metric against which to monitor national responses to the growing public health burden imposed by major depressive disorder.<h3>Methods</h3>MAT was defined as pharmacotherapy (1 month of medication, plus four visits to a medical doctor) or psychotherapy (eight visits with any professional). From existing reviews, we identified mental health surveys that assessed major depressive disorder within the general population as well as health service uptake by individuals with major depressive disorder. Data by ethnicity were not available. Estimates of MAT, antidepressant use, or use of any mental health service were extracted. The latter two estimates were adjusted to reflect likely MAT rates via a network meta-analysis. Adjusted MAT estimates were analysed via a Bayesian meta-regression using the Disease Modelling Meta-Regression (DisMod-MR 2.1) tool. This analysis estimated MAT coverage among people with major depressive disorder by age, sex, location, and year. Final MAT estimates were standardised by age and sex against the existing age and sex distribution of people with major depressive disorder globally. People with lived experience were involved in the design, preparation, interpretation, and writing of this manuscript.<h3>Findings</h3>The analysed dataset included 145 estimates from 32 studies, covering 31 countries, 14 regions, and six super-regions. The proportion of people with major depressive disorder receiving MAT globally in 2021 was 9·1% (95% uncertainty interval 7·2–11·6), with 10·2% (8·2–13·1) of females and 7·2% (5·7–9·3) of males with major depressive disorder receiving MAT. MAT coverage was highest in high-income locations (27·0% [21·7–34·4]), with Australasia having the highest rate (29·2% [21·4–40·8]). MAT coverage was lowest in sub-Saharan Africa (2·0% [1·5–2·6]), within which western sub-Saharan Africa (1·8% [1·4–2·5]) had the lowest coverage. Seven countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Sweden) were estimated to have MAT coverage exceeding 30%, while 90 countries were estimated to have coverage lower than 5%.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Despite many gaps in the available data, estimates show that, globally, most individuals with major depressive disorder do not receive MAT. Services must improve to reach a global coverage that better meets the mental health needs of those with major depressive disorder. Urgent attention should be given to the scale-up of effective intervention strategies, especially in low-income and middle-income countries, as well as further research into better quality treatment options for major depressive disorder.

Our aim was to examine the risk of developing stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease among people receiving lithium therapy.<h3>Methods</h3>This was a retrospective, population-based cohort study of all adults (aged ≥18 years) in Iceland treated with lithium for a mood disorder who had two or more serum creatinine measurements available in the years 2008–17, irrespective of duration of lithium therapy, identified from the Prescription Medicines Register of the Directorate of Health, or through blood lithium measurements. The control group comprised all eligible outpatients with mood disorders (ICD-10 codes F30–F39) who had not been prescribed lithium and who had attended the national tertiary referral centre in 2014–16. Individuals with chronic kidney disease (identified by ICD codes or an estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min per 1·73 m<sup>2</sup>) before Jan 1, 2008, or those with glomerular disease, genetic or congenital kidney disease, or small kidneys diagnosed before or after 2008 were excluded. Chronic kidney disease stages 3 and higher were defined according to the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease, and the eGFR was calculated from serum creatinine; all ICD-10 and ICD-9 diagnosis codes, serum creatinine and blood lithium concentrations, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratios were obtained from health-care institutions and laboratories. Risk of developing stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease between Jan 1, 2008, and Dec 31, 2017, was assessed using time-to-event regression analysis, accounting for competing risk of death. People with lived experience were not involved in the design or conduct of this study.<h3>Findings</h3>We identified 4310 individuals (2695 who had received lithium and 1615 control participants), of whom 3198 were included in the study. 2025 (75·1%) individuals in the lithium group (1165 [57·5%] female and 860 [42·5%] male) and 1173 (72·6%) in the control group (737 [62·8%] female and 436 [37·2%] male) were included in the study at end of follow-up. The mean age of the study sample at the end of follow-up was 46·6 years (SD 16·4; range 18·5–98·9). Ethnicity data were not available. In the lithium group, 211 (10·4%) of 2025 individuals developed stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease, compared with 35 (3·0%) of 1173 individuals in the control group (hazard ratio [HR] 1·90, 95% CI 1·32–2·75 after adjusting for sex, age, and comorbid conditions). Compared with control participants, the risk of stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease was significantly increased for subgroups with a mean blood lithium concentration of 0·60–0·79 mmol/L (HR 2·93, 95% CI 1·97–4·36) or 0·80–0·99 mmol/L (4·31, 2·66–6·99), but not for the subgroup with a mean blood","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142673010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
