Date of all-cause mortality was determined from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Beneficiary Identification and Records Locator System. All-cause mortality rates were calculated as the total number of deaths in each group divided by the person-years of follow-up time in each group. During the 9-year study period, 27% of the subjects (n = 131,396) died. Each of the psychiatric diagnoses was associated with significantly increased HR for all-cause mortality after adjusting for age, race, and gender. Hazard ratios ranged from 1.02 (95% confidence interval, 1.01, 1.04) for posttraumatic stress disorder to 1.97 (95% confidence interval, 1.89, 2.04) for alcohol use disorders. After adjustment for psychiatric and medical comorbidity, obesity, current ...Continue Reading
