Text

The disorder type coefficients in the best-fitting model represent predictive associations of disorders that occur to people with no prior disorders. As there are a large number of coefficients for these pure disorders, it is useful to focus on summary statistics. (Detailed results are available on request.) 40.0% of pure-disorder coefficients are positive and statistically significant. (Table 2) Median (inter-quartile range) ORs are 3.1 (2.4-3.9). Only one of 210 coefficients is negative and significant. Roughly two-thirds (63.2%) of within-class coefficients are significant versus 33.0% of between-class coefficients. The median (inter-quartile range) significant within-class ORs [3.9 (3.0-4.8)] are higher than comparable between-class ORs [2.9 (2.4-3.5)].
