Time-Specific Associations of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Levels and Polymorphisms (-850 C/T or -308 G/A) With Suicidal Ideation in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Considering the association of inflammation with suicide and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), we investigated the individual and interactive effects of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (sTNFα) levels and two polymorphisms (-850 C/T and -308 G/A) on suicidal ideation (SI) after ACS. Methods: The SI status using items on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), related covariates including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, sTNFα levels, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) polymorphisms were evaluated in 969 patients within 2 weeks after ACS. Of the patients, 711 were evaluated 1 year later for SI. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate individual and interactive associations after adju
