Fig 1.
All-cause mortality rates (MRs) as a function of age for women with SMI only, women with breast cancer only, women with SMI and breast cancer, and women with neither of the two disorders (Denmark, 1980–2011).
Abbreviations: MR: mortality rate; SMI: severe mental illness; BC: breast cancer; Reference: women from the general population with neither of the two disorders.
Table 1.
Mortality rate ratios (MRRs) for women with SMI, women with breast cancer and women with both SMI and breast cancer compared to women with neither SMI nor breast cancer in Denmark in 1980–2012 (N = 2,665,963).
Fig 2.
Ten-year all-cause MRRs for women with SMI and breast cancer compared to women with breast cancer only.
Abbreviations: MRR: mortality rate ratio; MR: mortality rate; CI: confidence interval; CCI score: Charlson Comorbidity Index score (excluding cancers). The MRRs were adjusted for age and calendar period. aEach death is assigned to the category at the time of death (for example, the number of deaths are counted for each calendar period category at the time of death: if a person died in 1981, this death will be assigned to the calendar period category 1980–1983). bNumber of deaths are counted for each tumor stage category at the time of diagnosis.
