The Prediction of Suicide: Sensitivity, Specificity, and Predictive Value of a Multivariate Model Applied to Suicide Among 1906 Patients With Affective Disorders
Abstract
Stepwise multiple logistic regression was utilized in an attempt to develop a statistical model that would predict suicide in a group of 1906 Iowans with affective disorders admitted to a tertiary care hospital. The risk factors identified by this approach included the number of prior suicide attempts, suicidal ideation on admission, bipolar affective disorder (manic or mixed type), gender, outcome at discharge, and unipolar depressive disorder in individuals with a family history of mania. However, the model failed to identify any of the patients who committed suicide. The results appear to support the contention that, based on present knowledge, it is not possible to predict suicide, even among a high-risk group of inpatients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
