Overview

No difference in depressive severity by admission reason; leaves open whether symptom profiles aid suicide risk stratification in inpatients.

Structured PICO

P
Population
46 depressed inpatients, including 20 admitted following a suicide attempt and 26 admitted for other depression-related reasons.
C
Comparator
Depressed patients with no recent history of attempted suicide
O
Outcome
Severity of depressive symptoms (assessed via Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) and suicide risk (assessed via Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk)

In depressed inpatients, a history of suicide attempts is a strong predictor of recent attempts, whereas the severity of depressive symptoms is not correlated with recent suicide attempts.
