Nordstrom, Peter; And Others
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v24 n1 p1-9 Spr 1994
Studied suicide risk after attempted suicide, as predicted by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) monoamine metabolite concentrations, in 92 psychiatric mood disorder inpatients admitted shortly after attempting suicide. Results revealed that low CSF 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) predicted short-range suicide risk after attempted suicide in mood disorder psychiatric inpatients. (Author/NB)
