Time to Death by Suicide in an Epidemiological Sample of Veterans With an Inpatient Hospitalization for Heart Failure
Demographic, clinical, and healthcare utilization characteristics distinguished Veterans with heart failure who died by suicide from those who died by other causes. Time to death following hospital discharge did not differ between groups when accounting for relevant factors. Comprehensive suicide screening and intervention is needed following a heart-failure hospital discharge, particularly for Veterans at elevated risk.
