- Cognitive disorders had medium-to-large effects on hospital admissions in all age groups and large effects on death in the 35-49 age groups.
- Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) had small effects on hospital admission in all age groups.
- Drug use disorders (DUDs) had small-to-medium effects on hospital admission. AUDs and DUDs were also significantly related to the risk of death, and DUDs had a small effect on the risk of discharge against medical advice in the 35-49 and 50-64 age groups.
