Abstract

Objective We tested the association between physical comorbidity and incident depression, anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder in three immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID): inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) versus age-, sex- and geographically-matched controls.Methods Using population-based administrative data we identified 6119 persons with IBD, 3514 persons with MS, 10,206 persons with RA and 97,727 matched controls. We identified incident cases of depression, anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder in these populations. We evaluated the association of physical comorbidities with incident psychiatric comorbidity using Cox regression, adjusting for sociodemographic factors and index year.Results The risk of incident depression, anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder was higher in each IMID cohort versus their matched cohorts. The risk of incident psychiatric comorbidity increased with an increasing number of physical comorbidities for each psychiatric comorbidity evaluated, across all IMID. Adjustment for physical comorbidity did not attenuate the increased risk of psychiatric comorbidity in the IMID cohorts versus their matched cohorts.Conclusion The increased incidence of psychiatric comorbidity in IMID versus matched general population cohorts is not accounted for by their increased prevalence of physical comorbidities. However, within IMID cohorts, physical comorbidity increases the risk of psychiatric comorbidity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
