Prediction models for self-harm and suicide: a systematic review and critical appraisal.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of prediction models for self-harm and suicide has grown substantially in recent years. However, their potential role in improving assessment of suicide risk is debated. In this systematic review, we provide an overview and critical appraisal of the predictive performance and methodological quality of prognostic risk models for self-harm and suicide.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Global Health from inception to 30/11/2021. The search was updated on 25/10/2024 to include new external validations. We included studies describing the development and/or external validation of statistical models for predicting risk of non-fatal self-harm and/or death by suicide. Risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASs
