Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and suicidal behaviour in a large sample of first-episode psychosis patients.
World Journal of Biological Psychiatry 2018 January 12
OBJECTIVES: Our aims were to confirm the relationship between lipid and lipoprotein concentrations and suicidal behaviour in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients.
METHODS: Suicidal behaviour was explored in a large FEP sample (N = 383). Baseline lipid profile was compared between those who attempted or completed suicide and those who not presented suicidal behaviour.
RESULTS: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (OR = 0.99, 95% CI= 0.98-1.00) and depressive symptoms (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.06-1.24) were significantly related with suicidal behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS: Lipid profile test may be considered in the assessment of suicide risk in psychosis and LDL-c an important biological marker.
