Insomnia as an independent predictor of suicide attempts: a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have verified that insomnia is associated with suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and death by suicide. Limited population-based cohort studies have been conducted to examine the association. The present study aimed to analyze whether insomnia increases the risk of suicide attempts and verify the effects of insomnia on suicide risk. METHODS:This study is a cohort study using 2000-2013 hospitalization data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to track the rate of suicide attempts among insomnia patients aged 15 years or older. In addition, a 1:2 pairing based on sex, age, and date of hospitalization was conducted to identify the reference cohort (patients without insomnia). Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the effects of insomnia on suicide risk. RESULTS:The total number of hospitalized patients aged 15 years or older was 479,967 between 2000 and 2013 (159,989 patients with insomnia and 319,978 patients without insomnia). After adjusting for confounders, suicide risk in insomnia patients was 3.533-fold that of patients without insomnia (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]?=?3.533, 95% confidence interval [CI]?=?3.059-4.080, P?

Project description:ObjectivesInjury is an important issue in public health. Spinal curvature disorders are deformities characterised by excessive curves of the spine. The prevalence of spinal curvature disorders is not low, but its relationship with injury has not been studied. The aim of this study is to investigate whether spinal curvature disorders increase the risk of injury.DesignPopulation-based retrospective cohort study.SettingUsing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2010.Participants and exposurePatients with spinal curvature disorders were selected using codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. A cohort without spinal curvature was randomly frequency-matched to the spinal curvature disorders cohort at a ratio of 2:1 according to age, sex and index year.Primary outcome measuresThe risk of injury was analysed using Cox's proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, urbanisation level and socioeconomic status.ResultsA total of 20 566 patients with spinal curvature disorders and 41 132 controls were enrolled in this study. The risk of injury was 2.209 times higher (95% CI 2.118 to 2.303) in patients with spinal curvature disorders than in the control group. The spinal curvature disorders cohort exhibited higher risk of developing injury compared with the control group, regardless of age, sex, comorbidities, urbanisation level and subgroup of spinal curvature disorders. Based on the subgroup analysis, the spinal curvature disorders cohort had higher risks of unintentional injury and injury diagnoses such as fracture, dislocation, open wound, superficial injury/contusion, crushing and injury to nerves and spinal cord compared with the control cohort.ConclusionsPatients with spinal curvature disorders have a significantly higher risk of developing injury than patients without spinal curvature disorders. Aggressive detection and management of spinal curvature disorders may be beneficial for injury prevention.

Project description:Suicidal behavior (SB) has a complex etiology of genes, environment or both. One of the genetic components in SB could be copy number variations (CNVs), since CNVs are implicated in a range of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, a recently published genome-wide and case-control study failed to observe a significant role of CNVs in SB (see E-MTAB-3519). Here we complement those initial observations by conducting a brief CNV-association study, for the first time in a family-based trio-sample with severe suicide attempt (SA) outcome in offspring (n=660 trios; the \GISS\ sample, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23422793 and refs therein). For association testing, we here used the FBAT-CNV methodology (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18228561), which allows for CNV association testing directly on the raw intensity values (Illumina \log R ratio\), evaluating any type of CNVs (e.g. de novo or inherited) without reliance on CNV calling algorithms and robust to control selection biases. Here we have deposited these raw logR-values for 88,450 on-chip CNV-loci of the HumanOmni1-Quad_v1 chip, arranged in a standard pedigree format used as input for FBAT-CNV analysis in SVS software (goldenhelix.com): column 1 is the family ID, column 2 is the Subject type (1 = offspring, 2 = mother, 3 = father), column 3 is the father ID (? for missing), column 4 is the mother ID (? for missing), column 5 is the sex (1 = female, 0 = male), column 6 is the affection status (1 = suicide attempt, 0 = not affected) and columns 7 and onward are the logR-values for each CNV-loci as is listed in the header row. We observed experiment-wide significant association (P ≤ 5.6 x 10-7) of two proximal CNVs at chromosome 14 (Illumina markers cnvi0108946 and cnvi0118308, with NCBI 36.3 start positions 22794779 and 22582820). However, these CNV-associations mapped to T-cell receptor regions, and therefore most likely reflect inter-individual variation in somatic rearrangements occurring in white blood cells (as our source of DNA was blood), rather than association with SA. In conclusion, our results did not suggest any major role of CNVs in SA etiology, in line with the results of the recent case-control study (see E-MTAB-3519).

Project description:BackgroundWomen who give birth to children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) may be at increased risk for suicide; however, there are few data in this area. The objective of this study was to compare rates of suicide between women who had given birth to children with FASD and women who had not given birth to children with FASD during critical periods in their lives, including before pregnancy, during pregnancy, during the postpartum period (maternal death) and until the end of the study period.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of women with children born in Manitoba between Apr. 1, 1984, and Mar. 31, 2012 in whom FASD was diagnosed between Apr. 1, 1999, and Mar. 31, 2012, with follow-up until Dec. 1, 2013 (FASD group; n = 702). We generated a comparison group of women who had not given birth to children with FASD (n = 2097), matched up to 1:3 on date of birth of the index child, socioeconomic status and region of residence. We used linked administrative data to investigate suicide attempt and completion rates in the 2 groups. Regression modelling produced relative rates (RRs) adjusted for socioeconomic status and age at birth of the index child and was used to assess suicide risk.ResultsThe 2799 participants produced 40 390.21 person-years until the end of the study period. Compared to the comparison group, the FASD group had higher rates of suicide completion (adjusted RR 6.20 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.36-16.31]), a higher number of women who attempted suicide after the postpartum period until the end of the study period (adjusted RR 4.62 [95% CI 2.53-8.43]) and a higher number of attempts after the postpartum period until the end of the study period (adjusted RR 3.92 [95% CI 2.30-6.09]).InterpretationThis study identified a group of women with increased rates of social complexities, mental disorders and alcohol use, which places them at risk for suicide. Interventions are needed that screen for suicidal behaviour in women who are at high risk to consume alcohol during pregnancy and have mental disorders.

Project description:PURPOSE:The association between primary headaches, including tension-type headache (TTH) as one of the most common primary headache disorders, and dementia remains controversial. In this nationwide, population-based, retrospective, cohort study, we explored the potential association between TTH and dementia and examined sex, age, and comorbidities as risk factors for dementia. METHODS:Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) claims data, the sample included 13908 subjects aged ?20 years with newly-diagnosed TTH in 2000-2006. The non-TTH group included 55632 randomly selected sex- and age-matched TTH-free individuals. All subjects were followed until dementia diagnosis, death, or the end of 2011. Patients with dementia, including vascular and non-vascular (including Alzheimer's) subtypes, were identified using International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the risk of dementia and dementia-associated risk factors, such as migraine and other medical comorbidities. RESULTS:During the average follow-up of 8.14 years, the incidence density rates of dementia were 5.30 and 3.68/1,000 person-years in the TTH and non-TTH groups, respectively. Compared with the non-TTH group, the risks of dementia were 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-1.42) and 1.13 (95% CI, 1.01-1.27) times higher in the women and >65-year-old TTH group, respectively. TTH patients with comorbidities had a higher risk of dementia. TTH patients had a greater risk of non-vascular dementia (hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.09-1.34) than the non-TTH group. CONCLUSION:TTH patients have a future risk of dementia, indicating a potentially linked disease pathophysiology that warrants further study. The association between TTH and dementia is greater in women, older adults, and with comorbidities. Clinicians should be aware of potential dementia comorbidity in TTH patients.
