Suicide Risk in Individuals With Psychiatric Disorder: Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to investigate whether the risks of suicide and non-suicide death vary based on the presence of psychiatric disorders.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders in South Korea between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017, were included and referred to as the psychiatric disorder (PY) group. A comparison group, the non-PY group, included individuals who had never been diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, selected using a 1:1 stratified random sampling technique based on age and sex. The patients were followed up for death by suicide (primary endpoint) from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. All other causes of death were categorized as non-suicidal deaths.

Results

After 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching, 761,384 adult participants
