*Interaction terms were used to determine adjusted hazard ratios for the effect of medical comorbidity within strata of psychiatric comorbidity^a as well as for the effect of psychiatric comorbidity within strata of medical comorbidity^b. Adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics including age, gender, race/ethnicity, marital status, area of residence, service connection, and geographic region.
