1. Supplemental Figure 1. Simplified representation of the covariables identified as potentially confounding factors of the association between the exposure (depression) and the outcomes (hospitalizations) and their hypothetical connections. The blue boxes represent the factors used as matching or confounding variables in the models. The grey boxes represent possible intermediate factors in the association between depression and hospitalization. Blue bars and grey dotted lines with the relative arrows indicate possible connections and direction of the relationships between variables.
