Impact of moderate-to-high-suicide-intent in major depressive disorder: a retrospective cohort study on patient characteristics and healthcare resource utilisation in England.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a disabling mental illness that can affect all aspects of daily life and is a leading cause of healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU).

Aims

We aimed to characterise patients with MDD with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent, compare their HCRU to patients with MDD without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent, and better understand their patient pathways.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used data collected from primary care electronic health records from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), linked to Hospital Episode Statistics, Mental Health Services Data Set, and Office for National Statistics in England. Adults diagnosed with ≥ 1 MDD diagnosis between 04/2007 and 11/2015 were categorised by suicide intent.
