Improving Patient Reported Outcomes and Preventing Depression and Anxiety in Older Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis: Results of a Sequenced Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) Study.

CONCLUSION: As response rates were similar for PT-PT and CBT-CBT, it may be dose and not type of these interventions that are necessary for clinical benefit. For non-responders, this finding may guide providers to stay the clinical course for up to 12 weeks before switching. These results support future trials of SMART designs in late-life depression prevention. PMID: 31047790 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
