Hazard ratios for depression and anxiety in patients with JIA compared with references without JIA, demonstrated in periods of JIA diagnosis. Conditional Cox proportional hazard regression models were used for the calculation of hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for depression (ICD codes F32, F33 and F34.1) and anxiety (ICD code F41), stratified on matched sets for sex and year of birth. Patients in the JIA cohort were compared to the reference group and the individuals were further divided based on year of JIA diagnosis/inclusion. The bars indicate 95% CIs with markers for HR. Females with JIA diagnosed 1980 – 1990 had significantly increased HR for depression HR 1.7 (95% CI 1.02 – 2.83) as well as anxiety HR 1.7 (95% CI 1.01 – 2.83) (* = p < 0.05). Males with JIA diagnosed 2001 – 2010 had significantly decreased HR for anxiety HR 0.2 (95% CI 0.04 – 0.67) (* = p < 0.05)
