The Genetic and Affective Prediction Study
- Conditions
- Mental Disorders
- Registration Number
- NCT02625818
- Lead Sponsor
- St. Olavs Hospital
- Brief Summary
A major proportion of patients admitted to psychiatric acute and emergency departments have symptoms, behaviors or function influenced by implicit or explicit suicidal intention (tendency towards self-harm, or suicide attempt). There is an increased risk of suicide in the acute phase during in-patient stay and after discharge. At present there is no satisfactory tool to predict post-discharge suicide risk.
Multidimensional rating is expected to have better predictive properties than one-dimensional rating for suicidal behavior during in -patient stay and two years after discharge. Multidimensional rating assesses anxiety, panic, agitation, suicidal thoughts and ideations, as well as therapist's reactions during interviews. In the present study the predictive properties of two rating scales for suicidal behavior during in-patient stay and two years after will be compared. One of these is a multidimensional scale: "Multidimensional Assessment of Suicide Risk" (MARIS).
