Abstract

Previous research has shown that suicide risk is highest in the year after people have been discharged from a psychiatric hospital. As such, identifying predictors of suicide within this time frame is important. Results from a systematic database search showed that all significant suicide predictors--those found in more than one study--could be grouped into factors related to suicidality, patient care factors, and demographic and psychopathological factors. Increased knowledge of suicide predictors for this particularly high-risk time, identified in this review, can help inform prevention and intervention efforts that may significantly reduce suicide rates.

  • Troister et al.'s review found five replicated classes of predictors for civilian postdischarge suicides: history of prior suicidal behaviors, psychopathological disorders, quality of care after discharge, time since discharge, and socio-demographics.

    “Troister et al. (22) carried out a comprehensive review of published studies of risk factors for civilian postdischarge suicides as of 2006 and found five replicated classes of predictors: (i) history of prior suicidal behaviors; (ii) psychopathological disorders (the most consistent being nonaffective psychosis, mood disorders, and multiple comorbid psychiatric disorders), medications for these”

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.
