Comorbid anxiety disorders and heightened aggression increase the odds of suicidal behavior in various clinical presentations, including BPD.
“Comorbid anxiety disorders (Pagura et al., 2010; Sareen, 2011) and heightened aggression (Evren, Cınar, Evren, & Celik, 2011) increase the odds for suicidal behavior in a variety of clinical presentations, including BPD.”
From Impact of dialectical behavior therapy versus community treatment by experts on emotional experience, expression, and acceptance in borderline personality disorder (2014) · cites this paper as Sareen, 2011
The Conclusions report increased suicidal-behavior risk among people with anxiety disorders, and the section on borderline personality disorder (BPD) says the association persists after adjusting for BPD. It does not establish that comorbid anxiety increases suicidal behavior specifically among people with BPD. Heightened aggression is attributed to a different citation in the citing sentence.

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.
