Table 2 Logistic regression analyses: factors associated with ineffectiveness in ECT treatment for adolescents with severe depressive episode and suicidal behavior

Results presentation: OR (95% CI). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
Unadjusted model: Included 4 variables such as ECT sessions, Severe side effects of ECT, Previous ECT treatment history, and Days hospitalized
Model 1: Comprised 6 variables including ECT sessions, Previous ECT treatment history, Age, Gender, Family history of psychiatric illness, and Family history of suicidal deaths
Model 2: Built upon Model 1 with a total of 14 variables, adding Disease duration, Psychotic symptoms, Suicide attempts within the last month, Hospitalizations at CQMU, Hospitalizations at other psychiatric hospitals, HAMD Score, and HAMA Score, Psychiatric comorbidities
Model 3: Expanded Model 2 to include 20 variables by additionally incorporating Antidepressants, Fluoxetine equivalent dose, Antipsychotics, Olanzapine equivalent dose, Sedative-hypnotics, and Other anti-anxiety drugs
