Hazard ratios for presence of elevated depressive symptoms and antidepressant use with respect to incident diabetes risk

Unadjusted Cox PH model Approach 1a Approach 2a Approach 3a Approach 4a
Cox PH Model (baseline antidepressant medication use and baseline presence of elevated depressive symptoms) Cox PH Models (baseline values of all predictors) Cox Models (time varying antidepressant medication use, presence of elevated depressive symptoms, and BMI; baseline values for other covariates) Cox Models (time varying antidepressant medication use, presence of elevated depressive symptoms, and BMI; adjusted for propensity score and baseline values for other covariates) Marginal Structural Models (time varying antidepressant medication use, presence of elevated depressive symptoms, and BMI; baseline values for other covariates)
