Mental health characteristics for the matched SLE/MCTD and T1D cohorts are shown. One SLE/MCTD and 6 T1D subjects positive for depression (due to suicidal ideation) but not meeting categorization criteria (due to total PHQ-9 score <5) were omitted. SCARED score was missing for 1 SLE/MCTD subject. Estimates from analyses separately comparing depression, suicidal ideation and anxiety prevalence between the SLE/MCTD and T1D (reference group) cohorts are shown. The covariates included in the adjusted models for depression and suicidal ideation are race/ethnicity and disease duration.
