  1. SUD substance use disorder, ND nicotine dependence, ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, HC healthy controls. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression. All comparisons were corrected for gender and follow-up interval in years. 95% CI 95% confidence interval. *Significant at p < 0.05
