Note: For alcohol dependence, kappa values are 0.76 for suicide cases, 0.57 for controls and 0.66 for AD new users. For illicit drug dependence, kappa values are 0.53 for suicide cases, 0.55 for controls and 0.63 for AD new users.
Abbreviation: NA is not available, AD is antidepressant; PPV is positive predictive value of an administrative diagnosis; NPV is the negative predictive value of an administrative diagnosis.
