Assessment

Primary outcomes

This study aims to descriptively analyze depressive symptoms, work productivity, patient global impression of improvement, the symptom that patients consider most concerning, and safety in patients taking zuranolone in routine clinical practice, without setting specific primary endpoints. Evaluation measures, centered on the QIDS-J, will be collected.
-The symptom that patients consider most concerning selected from the QIDS-J category at Visit1(baseline).
-Percentage of patients whose symptom that patients consider most concerning selected from the QIDS-J category at Visit1, improved by at least 1 point from Visit 1 at each evaluation point.
-Percentage of patients whose symptom that patients consider most concerning selected from the QIDS-J category at Visit1was 0 at each evaluation point.
-QIDS-J total score at Visit 1 and the trend of scores and changes from baseline at each evaluation point.
-Percentage of patients whose total QIDS-J score was 5 or less at each evaluation point
-Score progression for each item in QIDS-J from Visit 1 to each evaluation point.
-Percentage of patients whose score for each item of the QIDS-J improved by 1 point or more from Visit 1 to each evaluation point.
-In subgroups based on concomitant medications(antidepressants, hypnotic medications), the percentage of patients whose symptom that patients consider most concerning selected from the QIDS-J category at Visit1 improved by 1 point or more from Visit 1 at each evaluation point.
-In subgroups categorized by concomitant medications(antidepressants, hypnotic medications), the changes in the QIDS-J total score(Visit1) and the score at each evaluation point.
-Using WPAI (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment), Labor productivity at each evaluation point compared to Visit1.
-Using PGI-I(Patient Global Impression of Improvement), Patient impression of improvement at each evaluation point compared to Visit1.
-Adverse Events for Safety Assessment.
