Fig. 4: Cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality and YLL after diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in patients with cancer.
From: Cumulative burden of psychiatric disorders and self-harm across 26 adult cancers
Case (with psychiatric disorder) and control (no psychiatric disorder) groups were obtained via propensity score matching (Extended Data Fig. 1). Controls were matched by age at cancer diagnosis, cancer type, sex, IMD and primary care practice ID. a, Cumulative incidence curves for all-cause mortality after psychiatric disorder diagnosis in matched case and control groups. The log-rank test was used. b, Excess YLL attributable to psychiatric disorders in patients with cancer. Radar plots depict the difference in YLL between matched cases and controls. Excess YLL was estimated based on the age of onset of a psychiatric disorder. All data and 95% CIs are provided in Supplementary Table S7.
