2 Fig 1 Association of alopecia areata (AA) with any mental health (MH) disorder (A) and primary admission for an MH disorder (B). Bivariable and multivariable survey weighted logistic regression models assessed the association of AA with MH diagnoses. The independent variable was a diagnosis of AA (yes or no). The dependent variables were a primary or secondary diagnosis (A) or only primary diagnosis (B) of each of the MH condition (yes or no). Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated and presented in the text. Multivariable models included age (continuous), sex (male or female), race/ethnicity (white or nonwhite), and insurance status (insured or noninsured). Adjusted ORs and 95% CIs were estimated and are presented both in text and forest plots. ∗The National Inpatient Sample lists only 1 primary diagnosis and up to 24 secondary diagnoses. The primary diagnosis is the primary reason for hospitalization. Primary admission for an MH disorder was defined by an MH diagnosis code listed as the primary admission diagnosis.
