Flexible parametric survival models with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The reference group comprises those with no registered sickness absence (SA) (1990). Model 1: Crude; Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, education, country of origin, family situation; Model 3: Adjusted for the covariates in model 2 and inpatient care due to somatic diagnoses; Model 4: Adjusted for the covariates in model 3 and inpatient care due to psychiatric diagnoses. *All-cause mortality and suicide deaths adjusted for the covariates in model 3 and inpatient care due to psychiatric diagnoses and suicide attempt.
