Is the diagnosis and treatment of depression gender-biased? Evidence from a population-based aging cohort in Sweden by Amaia Bacigalupe, Unai Martín, Federico Triolo, Linnea Sjöberg, Therese Rydberg Sterner, Serhiy Dekhtyar, Laura Fratiglioni, Amaia Calderón-Larrañaga

“…We compared gender differences in: (a) clinical diagnosis of depression according to the Swedish National Patient Register (ICD-10 codes F32-F34; F412) (“register-based diagnosis”); (b) SNAC-K-based diagnosis of depression, partially gender-blind, using the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS) and the DSM-IV-TR (“SNAC-K based diagnosis); and (c) antidepressant use (ATC code N06A). To analyze the magnitude of the gender bias in the register-based diagnosis of depression and in antidepressant use, and the role of potential moderating factors, prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated using Poisson regression models. …”
