Two matched groups of depressed patients, one ECT responsive and one ECT non-responsive, were compared for clinical, historical and treatment variables. Three factors predicted good response: (1) duration of illness less than one year; (2) presence of a precipitating event; (3) presence of delusions. A trend suggested that concurrent physical debilitation was a negative indicator. Possible explanations for these findings were proposed.
将两组匹配的抑郁症患者进行比较，一组对电休克治疗（ECT）有反应，另一组对ECT无反应，比较其临床、病史和治疗变量。有三个因素可预测良好反应：（1）病程少于一年；（2）存在诱发事件；（3）存在妄想。有一种趋势表明，同时存在身体虚弱是一个负面指标。针对这些发现提出了可能的解释。
