Suicidal Ideation Among Patients With Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis
Open accessAbstract
Objective To estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) and compare respondents who endorsed SI with respondents who denied SI within a national probability sample of women with bladder pain syndrome or interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC).Methods Data were collected as part of the RAND Interstitial Cystitis Epidemiology (RICE) Study, which screened 146,246 US households to identify adult women who met BPS/IC symptom criteria. In addition to estimating SI prevalence, women with and without recent SI were compared based on demographics, depression symptoms, BPS/IC symptoms, functioning, and treatment.Results Of 1019 women with BPS/IC symptoms asked about SI, 11.0% (95% CI = 8.73-13.25) reported SI in the past 2 weeks. Those with SI were more likely to be younger, unemployed, unmarried, uninsured, less educated, and of lower income. Women who endorsed SI reported worse mental health functioning, physical health functioning, and BPS/IC symptoms. Women with SI were more likely to have received mental health treatment, but did not differ on whether they had received BPS/IC treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that severity of BPS/IC symptoms did not independently predict likelihood of endorsing SI.Conclusion Results suggest that BPS/IC severity may not increase the likelihood of SI except via severity of depression symptoms. Additional work is needed to understand how to address the increased needs of women with both BPS/IC and SI.

The impact of BPS/IC spans day-to-day functioning such as travel, daily activities, sleep, diet and sexual functioning.
“The impact spans day-to-day functioning such as travel, ability to participate in daily activities, sleep, diet and sexual functioning [6, 18].”
From Cognition, Emotion, and the Bladder: Psychosocial Factors in Bladder Pain Syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) (2020) · cites this paper as [18]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says BPS/IC symptoms can affect work, family, interpersonal relationships, sleep, and sexual activity, supporting the broad point about day-to-day functioning. It does not mention travel or diet, so those specific examples are not supported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredQuality of life in BPS/IC is substantially diminished.
“It is therefore unsurprising that QoL in BPS/IC is substantially diminished [6, 18].”

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.
