Identifying Undiagnosed High-Risk Suicidality Cases by Matching Patients With a Similar Comorbidity Burden: Retrospective Observational Study Background: Suicide is the second leading cause of death for children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years. Pediatric suicidality is underreported, which poses significant challenges for effective intervention and prevention strategies. Identifying populations at risk of suicidality can provide critical benefits in terms of study cohort selection, prevalence estimation, and clinical resource allocation. Objective: This study sought to (1) measure the prevalence of mental health comorbidities in pediatric suicidality and (2) identify undiagnosed high-risk suicidality cases by matching them with patients with a similar mental health comorbidity burden. Methods: Electronic health record data from a large academic pediatric hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, were analyzed for patients aged 6 to 18 years presenting to the emergency department between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2022. Suicidality cases were defined using () codes for 3 suicidality subtypes: suicidal ideation, self-harm, and suicide attempt. Comorbidities of suicidality were calculated as the conditional probability of code pairs. After multiple hypothesis corrections, statistically significant comorbidities and patient encounter demographics were input as covariates into a propensity score matching (PSM) model. The accuracy of the PSM model was validated against chart review by 2 independent subject matter experts. Results: In total, 2.9% (2638/90,980) of emergency department encounters met an –based case definition of suicidality during the study period. The prevalence of suicidality by subtype was 2.5% (2275/90,980) for ideation, 1.1% (1030/90,980) for self-harm, and 0.2% (177/90,980) for suicide attempt. Suicidality prevalence was more common for the female sex (1825/43,929, 4.2%) than for the male sex (813/47,045, 1.7%). Comorbidities of suicidality were statistically significant for 55 frequently co-occurring codes. Nearly half of these comorbidities (26/55, 47.3%) were not present in the , and nearly a quarter (12/55, 21.8%) consisted of codes for accidental rather than intentional self-harm. Increased probability of suicidality was observed for patients with personality disorder (84/190, 44.2%), gender dysphoria (143/333, 42.9%), bipolar disorder (162/448, 36.2%), depression (1791/5426, 33%), and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (133/411, 32.4%). On the basis of gold-standard chart review, 53.4% of propensity-matched noncases were unrecognized cases of suicidality. Conclusions: PSM using comorbidity profiles is an effective approach for identifying suicidality cases that lack codes for suicidality.

My 14 yr old daughter lost her very best friend to suicide at age 13 due to depression and issues with school. They were like twins. My daughter was devastated. Refused to go back to school, too difficult now alone. School did nothing to encourage her to return.

A group of people in white coats sit around tables, engaging in a lively discussion. The room is filled with papers, folders, and educational materials. Some individuals are smiling and holding documents. The setting appears to be a classroom or workshop. Crayola markers are visible on one of the tables.

I’m a doctor. This is the surprising truth about teen suicides A child psychiatrist reflects on the importance of openness between teens and parents, and rapid response, when a friend or acquaintance may be at risk of suicide.

As teen suicide rates continue to rise, a pediatric psychiatrist reveals the surprising truth about how often youth reach out to peers — not adults — in moments of crisis.

State Infrastructure Can Strengthen Suicide Prevention in Health Systems State governments that establish suicide prevention infrastructure foster the advancement of sustainable, evidence-based practices within their states’ hospitals and health systems. Recent examples of effective infrastructure include the authorization of comprehensive prevention policies and programs, dedicated funding streams, coordinated leadership, and robust data systems with suicide statistics.

Pew highlights how strong state infrastructure within health systems can boost suicide prevention efforts and save lives.
