A review of factors associated with greater likelihood of suicide attempts and suicide deaths in bipolar disorder: Part II of a report of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders Task Force on Suicide in Bipolar Disorder

“While two studies replicated the independent association between anxiety disorder comorbidity and suicide attempt rates (Sala et al., 2012; Simon et al., 2007a), others did not (Leverich et al., 2003; Marangell et al., 2006; Neves et al., 2009).”

“Efforts to better understand and prevent suicidal behavior must therefore utilize the breadth of all available knowledge (Brown et al., 2000; Gonda et al., 2012; Mann et al., 2005; Zisook et al., 2013), with a special emphasis on diagnosis-specific information (Foster, 2013; Gonda et al., 2012).”

“There are inconsistent results with regard to age and risk of suicide death in BD. Ösby et al. (2001) reported a higher SMR among younger patients (less than 30 years) in their sample of 15,386 BD patients, while an even larger Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) sample of 32,360 BD suicides (Simon et al., 2007a) di…”

“…of mood disorders and more specifically BD has been reported more commonly among BD patients who attempt or die by suicide (Antypa and Serretti, 2014; Berutti et al., 2014; Brent et al., 1993b; Manchia et al., 2013; Sanchez-Gistau et al., 2009), but not in all studies (Tidemalm et al., 2014).”

“A number of excellent reviews of this area have been published over the years (Baethge and Cassidy, 2013; Gonda et al., 2012; Hawton et al., 2005b; Malhi et al., 2013; Mathews et al., 2013; Pompili et al., 2013; Yerevanian and Choi, 2013), and our ISBD task force also separately conducted a series…”

“Higher impulsivity has been associated with increased medical severity of suicide attempt in one BD clinical sample (Swann et al., 2005), but with lower lethality of attempts in another sample (Gilbert et al.”

“…Hoyer et al., 2000; Ilgen et al., 2010; Nordentoft et al., 2011; Schaffer et al., 2014b; Simon et al., 2007a; Weeke and Vaeth, 1986), in a meta-analyses of 28 studies, Tondo et al. (2003) reported a numerical, but not statistically significant higher standardized mortality rate (SMR) for women.”

“A number of excellent reviews of this area have been published over the years (Baethge and Cassidy, 2013; Gonda et al., 2012; Hawton et al., 2005b; Malhi et al., 2013; Mathews et al., 2013; Pompili et al., 2013; Yerevanian and Choi, 2013), and our ISBD task force also separately conducted a series of meta-analyses on…”

“…a Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 49(11) greater likelihood of suicide attempt, in the range of 18–62 fold and 27–74 fold higher rates, respectively, compared to pure mania (Dalton et al., 2003; Dilsaver et al., 1994; Liu et al., 1996; Tondo et al., 1999; Valtonen et al., 2008).”

“Schaffer et al. (2014b) reported higher rates of past suicide attempts among suicide completers with BD compared to those without BD (47.1% vs 25.8%).”

“In a more recent study, Ilgen et al. (2010) also reported adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for suicide death to be higher in female US veterans (HR = 6.33) compared to male veterans (HR = 2.98).”

“The presence of a depressive predominant polarity has been consistently associated with greater likelihood of lifetime suicide attempts than a manic predominant polarity (Baldessarini et al., 2012; Carvalho et al., 2014; Colom et al., 2006; Popovic et al., 2014).”

“The number of lifetime manic or depressive episodes or a history of rapid cycling have also been correlated with likelihood of a suicide attempt (Fagiolini et al., 2004; Oquendo et al., 2000; Song et al., 2012; Undurraga et al., 2012).”

“…significantly increases the likelihood of suicide attempt in patients with BD (Antypa et al., 2013; Antypa and Serretti, 2014; Cassidy, 2011; Dalton et al., 2003; Dennehy et al., 2011; Engstrom et al., 2004; Finseth et al., 2012; Galfalvy et al., 2006; Guillaume et al., 2010; Hantouche et…”

“Among 587 patients with BD, emotional abuse and sexual abuse were each found to be independently associated with history of suicide attempt (Etain et al., 2013).”

“In the only study focused on suicide death in children or youth with BD, Brent et al. (1993a) reported on 67 BD suicide deaths compared to matched controls and found mixed states (odds ratio [OR] = 9.0) and comorbid substance abuse disorders (OR = 17.0) to each be significantly associated with higher risk of death by…”

“In a Finnish study of 28 suicide deaths in BD, 78% occurred during a MDE, 11% during a mixed episode and 11% during or soon after a manic episode with psychotic features (Isometsä et al., 1994).”

“For instance, Simon et al. (2007a) reported that a past-year diagnosis of a substance use disorder was significantly associated with suicide attempts leading to hospitalization (HR = 2.53) and suicide attempts not leading to hospitalization (HR = 2.86) among over 32,000 BD subjects.”

“…et al. (2009) reported a lower mean psychosis score during the index manic episode among suicide attempters compared to non-attempters with BD. Psychotic BD has also not been associated with risk of suicide deaths (Black et al., 1988; Dennehy et al., 2011; Tondo et al., 2007; Tsai et al., 2002).”

“The incidence of suicide attempts in the BD group during periods of subthreshold depression, full major depression and mixed/depressive mixed was 87.1, 410.7 and 878.0 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (Holma et al., 2014; Valtonen et al., 2008).”

“For instance, Simon et al. (2007a) reported that a past-year diagnosis of a substance use disorder was significantly associated with suicide attempts leading to hospitalization (HR = 2.53) and suicide attempts not leading to hospitalization (HR = 2.86) among over 32,000 BD subjects.”

“In a systematic review of studies involving youth with BD (mean age = 14.4 years), a pooled frequency of 21.3% lifetime history of suicide attempt was reported, with a 14.7% rate of suicide attempt in prospective studies with a mean 3.5 years duration (Hauser et al., 2013).”

“Benedetti et al. (2011) also reported that patients with BD who had attempted suicide identified higher levels of early life stress.”

“…of illness (Azorin et al., 2008; Bellivier et al., 2011; Michaelis et al., 2004; Roy-Byrne et al., 1988), with two exceptions that reported a significantly shorter duration of illness in prospective (Valtonen et al., 2006) and retrospective (Manchia et al., 2013) samples of suicide attempters.”

“…samples reported significant association between recent cannabis use and lifetime suicide attempt (Aas et al., 2013; Kvitland et al., 2014); however, several other studies failed to show a consistent correlation (Bellivier et al., 2000; Cassidy, 2011; Parmentier et al., 2012; Tondo et al., 1999).”

“On the other hand, current or lifetime cigarette smoking has been consistently associated with suicide attempts in BD (Baethge et al., 2009; Ostacher et al., 2006, 2009).”

“In an elegant study of BD subjects and their religious affiliation, Dervic et al. (2011) reported a significantly lower rate of lifetime suicide attempt among the 149 patients with religious affiliation compared to the 49 patients without (63.1% vs 80.4%), and showed that moral or religious…”

(2003)…”

“…of 60 BD patients, sexual dysfunction characterized by impaired desire or difficulty with excitement or orgasm was significantly associated with a lifetime history of suicide attempt (Dell’Osso et al., 2009) although whether this effect is mediated by a global decline in interest is not clear.”

“With regard to personality traits, a number of studies reported higher scores on tests of aggression and hostility among those with BD who attempt suicide (Azorin et al., 2009; Chaudhury et al., 2007; Grunebaum et al., 2006; Michaelis et al., 2004; Rocca et al., 2010; Sher et al., 2006).”
