  • Note: CI = confidence interval, PY = person-year, Ref. = reference category.

  • * Adjusted for all other variables included in table.

  • Except where indicated otherwise.

  • A negative interaction contrast with a 95% CI that does not encompass 0 indicates a subadditive effect; that is, the joint effect of immune-mediated disease and depressive disorder is less than the sum of their individual effects. A positive interaction with a 95% CI that does not encompass 0 indicates a superadditive effective that is greater than the sum of the individual immune-mediated disease and depressive disorder effects.
