Analysis of suicide risk in adult US patients with squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for suicide in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the USA.

Setting

Patients with SCC diagnosed between 1975 and 2017 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were selected for this study.

Participants

This study included patients with SCC older than 20 years who were diagnosed between 1975 and 2017.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The general population included in data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used to calculate the suicide rate and standardised mortality rate (SMR) of SCC patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for suicide in patients with SCC.
