Lurasidone Efficacy in Mixed Depressive States: A Comparison of Standard Rating Scales to the Koukopoulos Mixed Depression Rating Scale

Conclusions This analysis did not find that the KMDRS produced a larger effect size than the MADRS in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorder-5 (DSM-5) defined MDD with mixed features. The lower utility of KMDRS may be due to the imputed nature of this analysis, or also to the DSM-5 defined patient population, which may reflect mixed hypomania rather than mixed depression.
