The association between different traumatic life events and suicidality. 2018, 9(1):1510279 Eur J PsychotraumatolAbstract
: Traumatic life events have been associated with increased risk of various psychiatric disorders, even suicidality. Our aim was to investigate the association between different traumatic life events and suicidality, by type of event and gender. Los eventos vitales traumáticos han sido asociados con un riesgo más alto de trastornos mentales, incluso suicidalidad. Nuestro objetivo fue investigar la asociación entre diferentes eventos vitales traumáticos diferentes y suicidalidad, por tipo de evento y género. 背景：创伤性生活事件与多种精神疾病的患病风险增加有关，其中也包括自杀风险。我们的研究目的是根据事件类型和性别，分别考察不同创伤生活事件和自杀之间的关系。方法：被试由参加癌症筛查的冰岛妇女（N = 689）和随机抽样的一般人群（N = 709）组成，在网络上完成调查问卷。生活事件通过《生活压力源检查表 - 修订版》测量，根据DSM-5判断创伤性生活事件。自我报告的自杀念头，有自杀意图的自残和自杀未遂都被视为‘终身自杀’（lifetime suicidality）。 我们使用泊松回归，控制人口统计学因素，计算相对风险（relative risks ）来度量创伤事件与自杀之间的关联性。结果：被试回应率为66％（922/1398）。 终身创伤事件的发生率在女性中为76％，在男性中为77％。 终身自杀率在女性中为11％，在男性中为17％。 经历过创伤事件与自杀的总体相关（RR 2.05，CI 1.21–3.75），在男性中（RR 3.14，CI 1.25–7.89）相比女性（RR 1.45，CI 0.70–2.99）这种关联性更强。 经历人际创伤（RR 2.97，CI 1.67–5.67），童年创伤（RR 4.09，CI 2.27–7.36）和性创伤（RR 3.44，CI 1.85–6.37）的被试自杀的可能性更高，男性尤甚。此外，还在男性中发现非人际创伤与自杀之间存在关联（RR 3.27，CI 1.30–8.25），但在女性中则没有出现关联（RR 1.27，CI 0.59–2.70）。结论：研究结果表明，自杀与创伤性生活事件有关，尤其是与男性和人际创伤相关最强。.Description

Incidence and risk factors for suicide and attempted suicide following a diagnosis of hematological malignancy.Solid tumors are associated with an increased risk of suicide, however, there is limited detailed information on the risk of suicide in patients with hematological malignancies. Therefore, we conducted a population-based study including 47,220 patients with hematological malignancies (diagnosed 1992-2006) and their 235,868 matched controls to define the incidence and risk factors for suicide and suicide attempt. Information on suicides, suicide attempts, and preexisting psychiatric disorders was obtained from Swedish registers and individual medical records. There was a twofold increased (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.9, 95% confidence interval 1.5-2.3, P < 0.0001) risk of suicide/suicide attempt during the first 3 years after diagnosis in patients with hematological malignancies compared to matched controls. Of all hematological malignancies, multiple myeloma was associated with the highest risk (HR = 3.4; 2.3-5.0, P < 0.0001). Patients with a preexisting psychiatric disorder were at a very high risk of suicide and suicide attempt (HR = 23.3; 16.6-32.6, P < 0.0001), regardless of type of hematological malignancy. Among patients who committed suicide, 19% were in a palliative phase and 44% were in remission with no active treatment. In conclusion, the risk of suicide and suicide attempt is elevated in patients with hematological malignancies. Certain high-risk patients may benefit from early detection and preventive measures.

Non-causative discharge diagnosis from the emergency department and risk of suicideApproximately 20% of Emergency Department (ED) users discharged home receive a non-causative discharge diagnosis in the category of "Symptoms, signs, abnormal findings, and ill-defined causes," according to the International Classification of Diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of these non-causative discharge diagnoses with mortality in general and with violent death and suicide in particular. This is a prospective study; the primary source of data was computer records from the ED at Landspitali University Hospital, Hringbraut, Reykjavik, Iceland over the period 1995-2001. The main discharge diagnoses were recorded according to the International Classification of Diseases. Individuals with a non-causative discharge diagnosis were followed-up for cause-specific mortality through national registries by record linkage and were compared to national mortality rates and the rates of those with causative physical diagnoses. The standardized mortality ratios, hazard ratios, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. The data on individuals with a non-causative discharge diagnosis from the ED revealed that the standardized mortality ratio for all causes was 1.57 (95% CI 1.39-1.77) among men and 1.83 (95% CI 1.61-2.08) among women. The hazard ratio for violent death was 1.64 (95% CI 1.07-2.52) and for suicide 2.08 (95% CI 1.02-4.24), adjusted for age and gender, among individuals with a non-causative discharge diagnosis compared to those having causative physical discharge diagnoses. Through analysis of the discharge diagnoses "Symptoms, signs, abnormal findings and ill-defined causes," this study has identified an association between the group of patients discharged from the ED with a non-causative diagnosis who are at high risk of suicide and who may, through further studies, become subjects for suicide prevention strategies.
