Comparison of Antidepressant Effectiveness in Preventing Psychiatric Rehospitalization: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

Patients discharged on sertraline showed significantly lower 30-day readmission rates compared to other antidepressant treatments, though the small sample size limits generalizability.
