Complex pain phenotypes: Suicidal ideation and attempt through latent multimorbidity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the relatively high rates of suicidal ideation and attempt among people with chronic pain, there is a need to understand the underlying factors to target suicide prevention efforts. To date, no study has examined the association between pain phenotypes and suicide related behaviors among those with mild traumatic brain injuries.

Objective

To determine if pain phenotypes were independently associated with suicidal ideation / attempt or if comorbidities within the pain phenotypes account for the association between pain phenotypes and suicide related behaviors.

Methods

This is a longitudinal retrospective cohort study of suicide ideation/attempts among pain phenotypes previously derived using general mixture latent variable models of the joint distribut
