Public Health"],"abstract":"<jats:sec><jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title><jats:p>Suicide is a global concern, especially among young people. Suicide prediction models have the potential to make it easier to identify patients who are at a high risk of suicide, but they have very little predictive power when there is a positive value for suicide mortality. Therefore, the aim of the study is to uncover potential risk factors associated with suicide by self-poisoning and further to provide a trustworthy nomogram to predict self-poisoning suicide among poisoned patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study prospectively enrolled 237 patients who were treated for poisoning at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital (Beijing) between May 2021 and May 2022. Patient's basic characteristics, daily activities, mental health status, and history of psychological illnesses were gathered to examine their predictive power for self-poisoning suicide. On developing a prediction model, patients were split 8:2 into a training (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 196) group and a validation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 41) group at random <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> computer. The training group worked on model development, while the validation group worked on model validation. In this study, the Hosmer and Lemeshow test, accuracy, and area under the curve were the primary evaluation criteria. Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was determined to evaluate feature importance. To make the prediction model easy for researchers to utilize, it was presented in nomogram format. Two risk groups of patients were identified based on the ideal cut-off value.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of all poisoned patients, 64.6% committed suicide by self-poisoning. With regard to self-poisoning attempted suicide, multivariate analysis demonstrated that female gender, smoking, generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7), and beck hopelessness scale-20 (BHS-20) were significant risk factors, whereas married status, relatively higher education level, a sedentary time of 1\u20133 h per day, higher sport frequency per week, higher monthly income were significant protective features. The nomogram contained each of the aforementioned nine features. In the training group, the area under curve (AUC) of the nomogram was up to 0.938 (0.904\u20130.972), whereas in the validation group, it reached a maximum of 0.974 (0.937\u20131.000). Corresponding accuracy rates were up to 0.883 and 0.927, respectively, and the <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-values for the Hosmer and Lemeshow test were 0.178 and 0.346, respectively. SHAP demonstrated that the top three most important features were BHS-20, GAD-7, and marital status. Based on the best cut-off value of the nomogram (40%), patients in the high-risk group had a nearly six-time larger likelihood of committing suicide by self-poisoning than patients in the low-risk group (88.68 vs. 15.38%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). The dynamic nomogram was made available at the following address: <jats:ext-link>https:\/\/xiaobo.shinyapps.io\/Nomogramselfpoisoningsuicide\/<\/jats:ext-link>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study proposes a prediction model to stratify patients at a high risk of suicide by self-poisoning and to guide individual preventive strategies. Patients in the high-risk group require further mental health counseling to alleviate anxiety and hopelessness, healthy lifestyle like quitting smoking and exercising more, and restriction of access to poison and psychiatric drugs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1106454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T06:47:47Z","timestamp":1678258067000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Identification of risk factors for attempted suicide by self-poisoning and a nomogram to predict self-poisoning suicide"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Wenjing","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Le","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanna","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunyan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanqing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaobo","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunzi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"876","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-4642(22)00280-2","article-title":"Prevalence of gender dysphoria and suicidality and self-harm in a national database of paediatric inpatients in the USA: a population-based, serial cross-sectional study","volume":"6","author":"Mitchell","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Child Adolesc Health."},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"Suicide2019"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chc.2020.10.008","article-title":"Dysregulation and suicide in children and adolescents","volume":"30","author":"Benton","year":"2021","journal-title":"Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.107.040113","article-title":"Cross-national prevalence and risk factors for suicidal ideation, plans and attempts","volume":"192","author":"Nock","year":"2008","journal-title":"Br J Psychiatry."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"911502","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.911502","article-title":"Prevalence and correlational factors of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among Chinese adolescents","volume":"13","author":"Yan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Psychol."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.ss6708a1","article-title":"Youth risk behavior surveillance -
