Psychiatric outcomes were compared with 325\u2009108 patients who underwent other major ocular surgeries. Patients were propensity-score matched, and EE cases were stratified into trauma, blind painful eye, infection or malignancy cohorts. Outcomes included new diagnoses of depression, anxiety, stress and adjustment disorders, substance use disorders and new prescriptions of antidepressants or anxiolytics within 1 year. Predictors of psychiatric outcomes were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards models at 3 years postindex.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to matched controls, the EE cohort had higher rates of antidepressant use (risk ratio, RR 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.25; p&lt;0.01) and anxiolytic use (RR 1.15; CI, 1.07 to 1.25; p&lt;0.01), despite similar diagnostic rates of depression. Among subgroups, trauma-related EE was uniquely associated with elevated risk of depression (RR 1.85; CI, 1.06 to 3.21; p=0.03), antidepressant use (RR 2.18; CI, 1.45 to 3.26; p&lt;0.01), anxiolytic use (RR 1.63; CI, 1.13 to 2.33; p&lt;0.01) and substance use disorders (RR 2.04; CI, 1.10 to 3.79; p=0.02).
