The authors treated 115 elderly patients (ambulatory and without dementia) with recurrent major depression, by means of combined nortriptyline and interpersonal psychotherapy. They contrasted Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Geriatric (CIRS-G) scores (for medical burden) in recovered and nonrecovered patients and generated a Cox proportional-hazards model of time-to-remission. The authors found no association between pretreatment chronic medical burden and acute treatment outcome in recovered (83 of 115) and nonrecovered patients and no relation of pretreatment CIRS-G scores with time-to-recovery. Findings support recent recommendations that practitioners be optimistic in treating elderly depressed, ambulatory patients whether or not significant medical burden coexists.
