What was measured

The HADS is a 14-item self-assessment scale that determines the levels of anxiety and depression that a patient is experiencing over the past week. The HADS utilizes a 4-point Likert scale (for example, 0 to 3) for each question and is intended for ages 12 to 65 years. Scores for each domain (anxiety and depression) can range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety or depression. LS mean was calculated using an ANCOVA model which includes geographic region, duration of current episode at baseline (\<4 years vs. ≥4 years), treatment group and baseline score as fixed factors.

Analysis population: All randomized participants with baseline and at least one postbaseline HADS depression score who had evaluable data for this outcome measure. The method used to handle missing data was modified last observation carried forward (mLOCF) which used the most recent nonmissing postbaseline assessment.

Groups in this outcome

2 mg Baricitinib

Participants received one 2 mg Baricitinib tablet administered orally QD and one placebo tablet administered orally QD to maintain the blind.

4 mg Baricitinib

Participants received one 4 mg Baricitinib tablet and one placebo tablet administered orally QD to maintain the blind.
