目的电休克治疗（ECT）是治疗抑郁症的有效方法。然而，ECT后的高复发率代表了临床问题。迄今为止，ECT疗程数对复发率的影响仍有待阐明。我们评估了ECT治疗次数与复发率之间的关系。方法回顾性分析53例MDD患者接受ECT治疗的临床资料。他们在最后一次ECT治疗后接受了1年的随访。我们进行了生存分析，以评估ECT治疗次数与再住院或自杀时间之间的关系。结果本组患者分为ECT治疗次数多（≥ 8次）组和ECT治疗次数少（
Objective Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, high relapse rates after ECT represent clinical problems. To date, influence of number of ECT sessions on relapse rate remains to be elucidated. We evaluated associations between number of ECT sessions and relapse rate. Methods This retrospective review collected clinical data of 53 patients with MDD who received ECT. They underwent a 1-year follow-up after their last ECT session. We performed survival analysis to evaluate associations between number of ECT sessions and time until rehospitalisation or suicide. Results The patients were divided into a higher number of ECT group (>= 8 sessions) and lower number of ECT group (
