Models were stratified on matched set, and adjusted for average number of clinic visit/year after the start date until 1 year prior to the end of follow-up.

In addition to the melanoma and BCC cases in the table, there were 6 SCC (all in DM1-free subjects), and <5 skin cancer, not otherwise specified in all patients; person-year of follow-up=82400 for DM1-free subjects, and 8054 for DM1 patients in analysis of all patients, and 82399 and 8054, respectively in analysis excluding cases within first 6 months of follow-up

DM1-free individuals were matched to DM1 patients on gender, birth year (±2 years), attending practice, and registration year (±1 year).
