Notes: Analyses of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines include related drugs, as described in methods. Hazard ratios marked with * are statistically significant (p < 0.05). HR Hazard ratio. CI Confidence interval. Model 1 shows the unadjusted, univariate associations between drug use and mortality. Model 2 includes all available confounders, selected through the process described in the statistics section. Interaction Term shows the p-values for the respective interaction terms applied to Model 2
