For panels a and b, the x-axes are in different scales. The potential confounders adjusted for included baseline demographics (age, gender, race, ethnicity, US geographic region of residence, and insurance type) and clinical characteristics (smoking status, psychiatric comorbidities based on the DSM-5 [9], depression treatment, and nonpsychiatric individual Elixhauser comorbidities).
