Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well known that individuals recently discharged from psychiatric inpatient care face a high risk of suicide. Severe physical health conditions have also been linked to suicide risk. The risk of suicide following discharge from somatic hospitals is not known for individuals admitted due to acute physical health conditions. METHODS A Cohort study using data from the entire Norwegian population aged 12 years and older from 2008 to 2022 linked with information on health service use and cause of death. We used Cox regression with age as time axis to estimate sex-adjusted hazard ratios of suicide following discharge for ages 12 to 64 years and 65 years and older. We also performed analyses after excluding hospitalizations with indications of concurrent mental disorders, self-harm, or suicide attempts. To assess individual risk, we performed an adapted case-crossover analysis among discharged patients who died from suicide. RESULTS A total of 4 632,980 individuals aged 12 to 64 years and 1,469,265 individuals aged 65 years and older were included. Compared to unexposed individuals at similar ages, we found an increased risk of suicide in the first 4 weeks after discharge, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 7.0 (95% confidence interval (CI) 5.9 to 8.3) among those aged 12 to 64 years and 6.8 (95% CI 5.4 to 8.6) among those 65 years and older. In the younger age group, the risk was attenuated, with a HR of 2.4 (95% CI 1.7 to 3.2) after excluding hospitalizations with indications of concurrent mental disorders, self-harm, or suicide attempts. The corresponding HR was 4.8 (95% CI 3.5 to 6.4) among those 65 years and older, declining to 1.9, (1.2 to 3.1) in weeks 5 to 8 and 1.2 (0.7 to 2.2) in weeks 21 to 24. The case-crossover analysis confirmed that individuals 65 years and older were particularly vulnerable. CONCLUSIONS The heightened risk of suicide following discharge from acute somatic hospitalization, even in the absence of concurrent mental disorders, self-harm, or prior suicide attempts, underscores the critical need for comprehensive mental health and existential support for patients post-discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Schizophrenia is associated with an increased risk of suicide. Few studies have investigated the risk of suicide across different ages, likely due to limitations around sample size. METHODS From the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan, this study identified 195,787 patients with schizophrenia from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2019. During the study period, 3848 patients died from suicide. We calculated the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for suicide stratified by age. In this age-stratified, nested case-control study, risk set sampling was used to match each case with 4 living controls by age, sex, and the year of the first diagnosis with schizophrenia. Conditional logistic regression was used for estimating age-stratified risk profiles. RESULTS The SMR was the highest in the <25 years age group (52.8) and inversely correlated with age. Unemployment was associated with an increased risk of suicide in the 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 to 64 years age groups. Depressive and sleep disorders before suicide were more common among suicide cases with schizophrenia than among controls across all age groups. Drug-induced and alcohol-induced mental disorders were significantly associated with suicide but were observed only in the age group younger than 54. Heart disease, pneumonia, and moderate or severe renal disease were risk factors for suicide in the age groups less than 65. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for suicide differ by age. This study's findings can be used to optimize health-care interventions for preventing suicide in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Suicidality is rarely assessed in patients treated in German rehabilitation centers, although individuals with physical and mental impairments have an increased risk for suicidality. The item 9 of the 9-item depression module of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) asks about the desire to be dead or to harm oneself and could be used as a possible screening for suicidality. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a standardized interview to assess suicidality. We assessed the prevalence of suicidality in orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation using the C-SSRS and the PHQ-9, examined the diagnostic accuracy of the item 9 of the PHQ-9 and of the PHQ-9 total score for identifying suicidality and surveyed the acceptance of the suicidality assessment by the rehabilitants. METHODS Study participants were screened with the PHQ-9 and subsequently interviewed using C-SSRS. Sensitivity and specificity of the item 9 of the PHQ-9 and the PHQ-9 total score were tested for the presence of suicidality assessed with the C-SSRS and in a sensitivity analysis for the presence of nonspecific active suicidal ideation (item 2 of the C-SSRS). We calculated the area under the curve (AUC) to predict the ability of the PHQ-9 to discriminate between individuals with and without acute suicidality. Screening and interview were evaluated by the rehabilitants. RESULTS Among 405 study participants, the prevalence of acute suicidality measured by the C-SSRS was 0.5%. 4% reported nonspecific active suicidal ideation on the C-SSRS. 10.4% reported suicidal ideation on item 9 of the PHQ-9. The sensitivity of item 9 and the PHQ-9 total score for identifying acute suicidality was only 50.0% (95% CI: 1.3% to 98.7%). However, item 9 was sensitive (81.3%, 95% CI: 54.4% to 96.0%) and specific (92.5%, 95% CI: 89.5% to 95.0%) for identifying nonspecific active suicidal ideation. Estimators for sensitivity were highly uncertain because of the low prevalence of acute suicidality. Addressing suicidality was rated as useful and helpful by study participants. CONCLUSION If the response to item 9 is positive, the immediate risk of suicide is low. However, PHQ-9 is suitable for identifying patients with non-specific suicidal thoughts. A conspicuous score on the item 9 of the PHQ-9 should be further clarified by a psychotherapist.

Abstract
Case management (CM)-based community therapy for patients with schizophrenia had little effect on reducing suicide mortality. We investigate the long-term suicide mortality outcome and associated risk factors in patients with schizophrenia receiving homecare (CM) in Taiwan. We enrolled a nationwide cohort of patients with schizophrenia who newly received homecare CM intervention (n = 13 317) between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2015; their data were derived from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. We calculated the incidence rate of suicide methods. We examined the demographic and medical utilization profile for suicide and then performed a nested case-control study and multivariate regression to identify independent risk factors for suicide mortality. Among the 13 317 patients who received homecare CM intervention, 1766 died during the study period, of whom 213 died by suicide, which is the leading cause of unnatural death. Jumping from a high place, self-poisoning, and hanging were the top 3 suicide methods. Increased medical utilization was noted for both psychiatric and non-psychiatric services within 3 months of suicide mortality. Comorbidities of depressive disorder, nonspecific heart diseases, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal ulcers were identified as independent risk factors for suicide mortality. Suicide was the leading cause of unnatural mortality in patients with schizophrenia receiving homecare CM intervention in Taiwan. We noted the preferred suicide methods, high medical utilization, and comorbidities before suicide. Thus, we suggest that the CM team should assess lethal methods for suicide and ensure that patients adhere to psychiatry treatment for improving the current care model for this specified population.

Abstract
A number of medical conditions are identified as risk factors for suicide death; in particular, cardiovascular illnesses are recognized as a major suicide risk factor. In this case, self-poisoning is the common method of suicide and cardiovascular drugs are among the major medications associated with fatal overdose, with calcium channel blockers being one of the most common agents. The present study describes two different fatal suicide cases involving four cardiovascular drugs: carvedilol, doxazosin and amlodipine (case 1) and diltiazem (case 2). The concentrations of the target cardiovascular drugs in the different biological specimens (central and femoral blood, urine, liver, brain) are presented, giving information about the potentially fatal data and the distribution of the drugs in the body. The study led to the implementation of a fast, sensitive and simple method for the detection and quantification of the four commonly prescribed cardiovascular drugs in post-mortem specimens including fluids and tissues for forensic purposes. The method was fully validated. The toxicological results of the studied cases are discussed, along with the autopsy results, histopathological evidence, and circumstances of death. The toxicological findings presented in the study provide new data regarding cardiovascular drugs in different post-mortem specimens, which will contribute to the currently limited knowledge about the toxicological profile of cardiovascular drugs and their distribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is the largest cause of disability and the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. However, little is known about the risk of suicide among people with a prior stroke. OBJECTIVES Using Multiple Cause of Death data (1999-2020) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention WONDER database, we examined via cross-sectional analysis the risk of suicide among survivors of stroke as compared to the general U.S. population and among subgroups within the United States. METHODS We assessed disparities in suicide rate among patients with stroke stratified by sex, race, urbanization levels, and census regions using the CDC WONDER multiple cause of death database. Standardized mortality rates were calculated to compare the suicide rate of stroke patients with the rates among demographic-matched cohorts and the general United States population. RESULTS As compared to the general population, stroke survivors had an elevated risk of suicide. Black stroke survivors had a lower rate of suicide as compared to the general population, while White stroke survivors and those in nonmetropolitan areas had an elevated risk compared to the general population. CONCLUSION There was a slightly elevated risk of suicide among people with a prior stroke in the United States. This risk may be elevated among White people and among people living in nonmetropolitan areas.

Abstract
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States (US). Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death. However, little is known about the risk of suicide in patients with heart disease and heart failure. Using Multiple Cause of Death data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database, we used a cross-sectional analysis to examine the risk of suicide in patients with heart disease and heart failure as compared with the general US population and in subgroups within the US. We assessed suicide rate in patients with heart disease and heart failure in the US population as a whole and stratified by race, time, urbanization levels, and census regions using the CDC WONDER Multiple Cause of Death database. Standardized mortality rates were calculated as observed deaths divided by expected deaths. As compared with the general population, patients with heart disease and heart failure had an elevated risk of suicide. This was true across racial and geographic subgroups. There was an elevated risk of suicide in patients with heart disease and heart failure in the United States. For heart disease, there were particular elevations in the Western US, and there was a particular elevation in Black Americans compared with the age-matched population.

Abstract
An extensive epidemiological investigation was applied regarding the risk factors, to a cohort of patients with pre-existing heart disease, hospitalized for tertiary prophylaxis in a rehabilitation hospital. The group of 499 patients from all regions of the country respected the proportions of gender and environment of origin for the general population of Romania and was adjusted according to regional proportions.
The ranking of risk factors and protection factors present in the studied population was made, at the level of each of the 8 regions of the country and for the whole country consolidated. The profile of the cardiovascular patient was identified. We used risk factors for population characterization, not for aggregation into tools for assessing total cardiovascular risk (as is the trend in large cohort studies since Framingham)
The data processing was done to be able to develop prevention strategies in the interest of the specific individual, not to standardize population characteristics and translate them to the individual thus decreasing their appropriateness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-blockers are widely used for treating cardiac conditions and are suggested for the treatment of anxiety and aggression, although research is conflicting and limited by methodological problems. In addition, β-blockers have been associated with precipitating other psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviour, but findings are mixed. We aimed to examine associations between β-blockers and psychiatric and behavioural outcomes in a large population-based cohort in Sweden. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a population-based longitudinal cohort study using Swedish nationwide high-quality healthcare, mortality, and crime registers. We included 1,400,766 individuals aged 15 years or older who had collected β-blocker prescriptions and followed them for 8 years between 2006 and 2013. We linked register data on dispensed β-blocker prescriptions with main outcomes, hospitalisations for psychiatric disorders (not including self-injurious behaviour or suicide attempts), suicidal behaviour (including deaths from suicide), and charges of violent crime. We applied within-individual Cox proportional hazards regression to compare periods on treatment with periods off treatment within each individual in order to reduce possible confounding by indication, as this model inherently adjusts for all stable confounders (e.g., genetics and health history). We also adjusted for age as a time-varying covariate. In further analyses, we adjusted by stated indications, prevalent users, cardiac severity, psychiatric and crime history, individual β-blockers, β-blocker selectivity and solubility, and use of other medications. In the cohort, 86.8% (n = 1,215,247) were 50 years and over, and 52.2% (n = 731,322) were women. During the study period, 6.9% (n = 96,801) of the β-blocker users were hospitalised for a psychiatric disorder, 0.7% (n = 9,960) presented with suicidal behaviour, and 0.7% (n = 9,405) were charged with a violent crime. There was heterogeneity in the direction of results; within-individual analyses showed that periods of β-blocker treatment were associated with reduced hazards of psychiatric hospitalisations (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91 to 0.93, p < 0.001), charges of violent crime (HR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.81 to 0.93, p < 0.001), and increased hazards of suicidal behaviour (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.15, p = 0.012). After stratifying by diagnosis, reduced associations with psychiatric hospitalisations during β-blocker treatment were mainly driven by lower hospitalisation rates due to depressive (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.89 to 0.96, p < 0.001) and psychotic disorders (HR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.85 to 0.93, p < 0.001). Reduced associations with violent charges remained in most sensitivity analyses, while associations with psychiatric hospitalisations and suicidal behaviour were inconsistent. Limitations include that the within-individual model does not account for confounders that could change during treatment, unless measured and adjusted for in the model. CONCLUSIONS In this population-wide study, we found no consistent links between β-blockers and psychiatric outcomes. However, β-blockers were associated with reductions in violence, which remained in sensitivity analyses. The use of β-blockers to manage aggression and violence could be investigated further.

Crump C, Sundquist J, Kendler KS, Sieh W, Edwards AC, Sundquist K. Risks of Depression and Suicide After Diagnosis With Heart Failure: A National Cohort Study. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2022; 10:819-827. [PMID: 36328649 PMCID: PMC9826721 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2022.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) has been associated with psychosocial distress, but other long-term mental health sequelae are unclear. OBJECTIVES In this study, the authors sought to determine risks of major depression and suicide, susceptible time periods, and sex-specific differences after HF diagnosis in a large population-based cohort. METHODS A national cohort study was conducted of all 154,572 persons diagnosed with HF at ages 18-75 years during 2002-2017 in Sweden and 1,545,720 age- and sex-matched population-based control subjects who were followed up for major depression and suicide ascertained from nationwide inpatient, outpatient, and death records through 2018. Poisson regression was used to compute incidence rate ratios (IRRs) while adjusting for sociodemographic factors and comorbidities. RESULTS HF was associated with increased risks of major depression and death by suicide in both men and women, with highest risks in the first 3 months, then declining to modest risks at ≥12 months after HF diagnosis. Within 3 months after HF diagnosis, adjusted IRRs for new-onset major depression were 3.34 (95% CI: 3.04-3.68) in men and 2.78 (95% CI: 2.51-3.09) in women, and for suicide death were 4.47 (95% CI: 2.62-7.62) in men and 2.82 (95% CI: 1.11-7.12) in women. These risks were elevated regardless of age at HF diagnosis. HF was associated with significantly more depression cases in women (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this large national cohort, HF was associated with substantially increased risks of depression and suicide in men and women, with highest risks occurring within 3 months after HF diagnosis. Men and women with HF need timely detection and treatment of depression and suicidality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We established the EXIstential health COhort DEnmark (EXICODE) to examine how existential and spiritual needs, practices and orientations in a secular culture are linked to health outcomes, illness trajectory and overall cost of care in patients. Substantial literature demonstrates that existential and spiritual well-being has positive effects on health. While people turn to existential and spiritual orientations and practices during ageing, struggle with illness and approaching death, patients with severe illnesses like, for example, cancer similarly experience existential and spiritual needs. These needs are often unmet in secular societies leading to spiritual pain, unnecessary suffering, worse quality of life and higher medical costs of care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS EXICODE is a national cohort comprising a 10% random sample of the adult Danish population with individual-level register and survey data. Specific patient subgroups are oversampled to ensure diseased respondents. The questionnaire used in the survey consists of a collection of validated instruments on existential and spiritual constructs suited for secular culture as well as some ad hoc questions compiled in the comprehensive EXICODE Questionnaire. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The project is registered for legal and GDPR concerns by the University of Southern Denmark, journal number: 10.367. Ethical approval was not required by Danish law since EXICODE collects only interview, survey and register data, but due to institutional best-practice policy an ethical evaluation and approval were nevertheless obtained from the University of Southern Denmark Research Ethics Committee (institutional review board), journal number: 20/39546. The project follows The Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and is carried out in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Results will be disseminated widely through publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, international conferences, patient societies as well as mass and social media.

Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine Use and Suicide Risk: Hypotheses for Confluent Etiopathogenetic Mechanisms? Behav Sci (Basel) 2021; 11:154. [PMID: 34821615 PMCID: PMC8615193 DOI: 10.3390/bs11110154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are classical anti-malarial and anti-inflammatory treatments, which were used as first-line therapy at the beginning of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Besides the emerging data on their lack of efficacy against COVID-19 infection, such treatments have been associated with some severe health concerns, including those of neuropsychiatric nature, such as a possible increase in suicide risk. Here we report a case of a patient with no history of psychiatric illnesses, who abruptly developed depression with melancholic features, severe suicidal ideation (SI), and attempted suicide (SA) shortly after receiving HCQ for his COVID-19 infection. The case was followed by a mini-review of the heterogeneous scientific literature on the hypothetical association between neuropsychiatric symptoms, with a focus on SI and suicidal behavior (SB, including SA and death by suicide), when CQ and HCQ are used in COVID-19, rheumatologic diseases, and malaria settings. Considering the anti-inflammatory properties of CQ and HCQ and the implications for neuroinflammation in suicide pathogenesis, the possible increase in suicide risk caused by these medications appears paradoxical and suggests that other underlying pathological trajectories might account for this eventuality. In this regard, some of these latter mechanistic postulates were proposed. Certainly the role and contribution of psycho-social factors that a COVID-19 patient had to face can neither be minimized nor excluded in the attempt to understand his suffering until the development of SI/SB. However, while this case report represents a rare scenario in clinical practice and no consensus exists in the literature on this topic, a psychiatric screening for suicide risk in patients using of CQ and HCQ could be carefully considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a syndrome that greatly impacts people's lives. Due to the poor prognosis of CHF, together with the frequent exacerbations of symptoms, death is a topic that is very present in the lives of patients with CHF. OBJECTIVE To explore thoughts about death experienced by patients with chronic heart failure in their daily lives. METHODS A hermeneutic phenomenological study was carried out. Conversational interviews were conducted with 20 outpatients with chronic heart failure. Analysis of the responses was based on the method proposed by van Manen. RESULTS From the analysis, four main themes emerged: (1) Feeling afraid of the possibility of dying; (2) Acceptance of the possibility of death; (3) Desiring death for relief from suffering; and (4) Striving to continue living to enjoy family. CONCLUSIONS This study presents, as a novel finding, that people with CHF experience the possibility of near death on a daily basis. This experience, which they must encounter on their own, makes them afraid. In addition, some of them, in view of the discomfort they are living, wish to die, with some even considering committing suicide.
