Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is
To determine the impact of EB on patients' depressive symptoms and social function.
To determine the patient background factors that affect EB on patients.
To examine EB and other MDD-related characteristics (Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and subjective EB scores) from expressions used by patients.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Correlation of ODQ/ODQ sub-domain (General reduction (GR), Positive reduction (PR), Emotional detachment (ED), Not caring (NC), Antidepressant as cause (AC)) scores with Workand Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)/WSAS sub-item scores and PHQ-9/PHQ-9 sub-item scores

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary Endpoint:
- Relationship between patient background factors and with/without gap between the degree of subjective EB symptoms and ODQ scores

Exploratory Endpoint:
- Contribution of ODQ subdomains to WSAS and PHQ-9 after adjusting for interrelationships among WSAS, PHQ-9 and ODQ
- Relationship between expressions used by patients and MDD -related characteristics (ODQ, PHQ-9 and subjective EB scores)

Results

The ODQ total score correlated moderately with WSAS (r=0.578) and strongly with PHQ-9 (r=0.670). Subdomains "not caring, NC" and "reduction in positive emotions, PR" strongly impacted WSAS and PHQ-9 scores. Men and unemployed individuals often underestimated EB severity relative to ODQ scores. Assessing NC and PR is critical for evaluating EB's impact on social functioning and depressive symptoms in MDD. Physicians should consider EB symptoms alongside patient backgrounds for personalized care.

Data for this post hoc analysis were available for 3376 patients who completed our previously reported survey on EB in Japan. Patient characteristics have been described previously (Kikuchi T, Iga JI, Oosawa M, Hoshino T, Moriguchi Y, Izutsu M. A web-based survey on the occurrence of emotional blunting in patients with major depressive disorder in Japan: patient perceptions and attitudes. Neuropsychopharmacol Rep. 2024;44(2):321-332. doi:10.1002/npr2.12417).

The web-based survey (UMIN000048497) was conducted via the monitored patient panel. The survey was performed between 29 July and 9 August 2022.Potential participants who met the inclusion criteria were identified from the patient panel and invited to participate. Respondents were then provided with information about the
study before being screened for eligibility. At the beginning of the survey, participants were informed that they could refuse to answer any question and could withdraw at any point. Data were collected by means of a self completed online survey.
