  • The period of observation is shorter in the outcome-specific samples than the full study observation period because the patient exits observation once the first outcome event occurs.

  • A&E presentation: Presentation of any cause to the accident and emergency department.

  • SMI admission: Inpatient admission with a primary diagnosis of serious mental illness (ICD-10 codes F20-F31).

  • ACSC admission: Inpatient admission with a diagnosis of an ambulatory care-sensitive condition (see online supplementary table 1 for a list of conditions).

  • *Mean years observed from diagnosis to outcome for those who experienced the outcome.

  • AR, annual review of physical health; CP, care plan.
