Abstract
We assessed the association between gender identity disorder (GID) diagnosis and suicide in a retrospective case-control study (N=300,364) from nine health care systems between 2000 and 2015. Adjusting for age and sex, the odds ratio for GID was 18.6 (95% confidence interval 7.0-49.5). Adjusting additionally for comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, the odds ratio was 4.75 (1.78-12.68), higher than depressive (3.96, 3.64-4.31), alcohol use (3.42, 3.04-3.84), bipolar (2.42, 2.10-2.80), and psychotic disorders (1.44, 1.22-1.70). These U.S. data support prior research demonstrating increased suicide risk among patients with diagnosed GID, who may benefit from targeted screening and intervention within health care systems.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
