Yu H, Cai K, Huang Y, et al. - Researchers used data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in order to determine potential risk factors related to suicide in leukemia patients. This analysis involved 142,386 leukemia patients. Of these, suicide was committed by 191 patients during a follow-up of 95,397 person‐years. In leukemia patients, the suicide rate was estimated to be 26.41 per 100,000 person‐years, and therefore the standardized mortality rate of the suicided leukemia patients was reported to be 2.16. Factors shown to confer a risk for suicide in leukemia patients include male gender, older age at diagnosis, white race, and acute myeloid leukemia, while a protective factor was being a non‐Hispanic black. Clinicians are advised to offer targeted prophylactic measures to leukemia patients with a high risk of suicide.
