Patients registered in the Norwegian Trauma Registry (NTR) for whom trauma team activation at hospital arrival was mandated by national guidelines between 2015 and 2018 were matched to general-population controls on gender and birth year in a 1:10 ratio according to a matched cohort design. Patients discharged alive were followed-up for a minimum of 2 years. All Norwegian hospitals treating patients with traumatic injuries provide data to the NTR. The final analysis was conducted in April 2025.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Traumatic injury, admitted to hospital, and registered in the NTR.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n The outcome of interest was suicide, as registered in the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry. Cumulative incidence ratios (CIR) of suicide with 95% CIs, taking nonsuicidal death as a competing event into account, were estimated. Adjustments for Charlson Comorbidity Index, previous psychiatric illness, and socioeconomic position (SEP) were conducted using inverse probability of treatment weights.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 25\u202f536 patients with traumatic injuries (165\u202f897 [67%] male; mean [SD] age, 41 [23] years) were matched to 247\u202f095 controls, with a mean (SD) age of 41 (23) years and 68% male. The cumulative incidences of suicide were 0.18% at 2 years and 0.34% and 5 years for patients with traumatic injuries and 0.02% at 2 years and 0.05% at 5 years for controls (2-year CIR, 9.3 [95% CI, 5.4-13.0]; 5-year CIR, 6.9 [95% CI, 4.4-9.1]). Patients with traumatic injury were older at the age of suicide compared with controls (mean [SD] age, 43 [19] years vs 36 [17] years;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.03) and female patients with traumatic injury had higher incidence of suicide compared with female controls (36% vs 17%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.005).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this cohort study of patients in Norway discharged alive after critical injury, a 9-fold increased risk of suicide after 2 years was observed. These findings suggest that follow-up is warranted for possible psychological distress in this patient group.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2025.54168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,15]],"date-time":"2026-01-15T16:00:30Z","timestamp":1768492830000},"page":"e2554168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Risk of Suicide in Patients With Traumatic Injuries"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Anders","family":"Rasmussen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine.
