Table 1_Association between vitamin D deficiency and the 8-year risk of incident depressio

A retrospective cohort study from 2010 to 2024 using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, analyzing 36,678 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The dataset likely contains patient demographics, comorbidities, medications, laboratory results, and clinical outcomes related to depression. It was created by Kuo-Mao Lan and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between vitamin D levels and incident depression based on hazard ratios reported in the description
• Analyzing secondary outcomes like antidepressant use and suicide-related events based on the study's defined endpoints
• Conducting sensitivity or subgroup analyses based on the sex-based stratification mentioned in the results
• Examining the temporal relationship between vitamin D deficiency and clinical outcomes using the 180-day landmark period described

Strengths

• Includes 36,678 patients after propensity score matching, providing a substantial sample size for analysis
• Covers an 8-year longitudinal period from 2010 to 2024, allowing for long-term risk assessment
• Uses a 1:1 propensity score matching for demographics, comorbidities, and medications to reduce confounding
• Examines multiple outcomes including depression incidence, antidepressant use, suicide-related events, and all-cause mortality

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical needs
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the TriNetX network source
