From: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide rates in Hungary: an interrupted time-series analysis

Fig. 1

NUTS2 regions of Hungary. Regions were coloured by: A. Suicide mortality rates during 2010–2019 B. IRRs for suicide deaths during the pre-vaccination period C. COVID-19 death rates during the pre-vaccination period D. Divorce rates during 2012–2019. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were obtained from negative binomial (NB) regression and expressed as percentage increases with respect to the expected numbers that would have occurred without the appearance of COVID-19. COVID-19 death rates and divorce rates were expressed per 100,000 capita and per thousand capita, respectively. The maps depicted in the figure are the authors’ own work and were created by using packages rgdal (v1.5-32; https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgdal/index.html) and cartography (v3.0.1; https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cartography/index.html) in R. Notes: NUTS2 Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (from the French version Nomenclature des Unités territoriales statistiques), 2nd level; Codes: HU10 Central Hungary, HU21 Central Transdanubia, HU22 Western Transdanubia, HU23 Southern Transdanubia, HU31 Northern Hungary, HU32 Northern Great Plain, HU33 Southern Great Plain. On January 1, 2018, Hungary split the region of Central Hungary into two new regions [Government Decision No. 2013/2015 (XII. 29.)]: the Budapest region (containing the capital of the same name; previously HU102) and the surrounding region of Pest (previously HU101). In favour of continuity, we examined the territorial units existing before January 1, 2018, and used their names.
