The correlation of antidepressive agents and the mortality of end‐stage renal disease: a Health Insurance Research Database Study in Taiwan

Conclusions:  Our findings suggest that (1) the mortality rate of ESRD patients was not affected by the diagnosis of depression, and (2) exposure of antidepressive agents in ESRD patients was associated with a higher mortality rate. The high mortality rate in ESRD patients exposed to antidepressive agents can be a bias by indication. Equally, a true contribution of the antidepressive agents cannot be ruled out and this needs for clarification.© 2012 The Authors.
