The highest mortality risk was among those with a primary substance use disorder (SUD) and no psychiatric diagnosis, with 45.9% dying. Alcohol [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)\u2009=\u20091.42; 95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u20091.18\u20131.71], opioids (aHR\u2009=\u20091.26; 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.03\u20131.54), as well as Charlson Comorbidity Index: 1 (aHR\u2009=\u20091.70; 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.41\u20132.04) and 2\u2009+\u2009(aHR\u2009=\u20092.56; 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.94\u20133.36), increased mortality risk. In contrast, cannabis use disorder (aHR\u2009=\u20090.77; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.65\u20130.93) and being female (aHR\u2009=\u20090.83; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.71\u20130.97) reduced it. Psychiatric diagnoses F30\u201339 (aHR\u2009=\u20090.70; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.56\u20130.87) and F40\u201349 (aHR\u2009=\u20090.76; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.59\u20130.97) were associated with lower mortality risk compared with F20\u201329. Of 733 deaths with mortality cause data, nearly two\u2010thirds were from natural causes, 8% from suicide and 20% from accidents or violence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The observed high mortality rates among clinically confirmed dual diagnosis patients (co\u2010existing psychiatric disorder and substance use disorder) in Denmark highlight the urgent need for comprehensive treatment for this population.
