The outcome variable is time to remission from entry into the AUD cohort. Simple models included only one of the risk factors mental disorders and the variables: duration of AUD before entrance into the cohort, age at entry into the AUD cohort, and SES. White collar was considered a reference category. Psychotic disorders refer to schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. HR, hazard rate; CI, 95% confidence interval; AUD, alcohol use disorder; SES, socioeconomic status; DT, delirium tremens; substance-ind, substance (mostly alcohol)-induced psychotic disorders.
