Suicidal and Death Ideation in Older Primary Care Patients With Depression, Anxiety, and At-Risk Alcohol Use
Abstract
The authors identified correlates of active suicidal ideation and passive death ideation in older primary care patients with depression, anxiety, and at-risk alcohol use. Participants included 2,240 older primary care patients (age 65+), who were identified in three mutually exclusive groups on the basis of responses to the Paykel suicide questions: No Ideation, Death Ideation, and Suicidal Ideation. Chi-square, ANOVA, and polytomous logistic regression analyses were used to identify characteristics associated with suicidal ideation. The highest amount of suicidal ideation was associated with co-occurring major depression and anxiety disorder (18%), and the lowest proportion occurred in at-risk alcohol use (3%). Asians have the highest (57%) and African Americans have the lowest (27%) proportion of suicidal or death ideation. Fewer social supports and more severe symptoms were associated with greater overall ideation. Death ideation was associated with the greatest medical comorbidity and highest service utilization. Contrary to previous reports, authors failed to find that active suicidal ideation was associated with increased contacts with healthcare providers. Accordingly, targeted assessment and preventive services should be emphasized for geriatric outpatients with co-occurring depression and anxiety, social isolation, younger age, and Asian or Caucasian race.

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.
