Factors contributing to cancer‐related suicide: A study of root‐cause analysis reports

Abstract: This analysis uncovers opportunities to mitigate risk of death by suicide among patients with cancer. Suggested actions include use of comprehensive cancer centers and development of a distress checklist using information from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines. Further studies should assess additional factors that may increase the risk of other adverse mental health outcomes in this population.

“…1 Patient harm is often a consequence of medical errors, which can involve system-based mistakes, including missed or delayed diagnoses, miscommunication between care teams, and misadministration of medication. [2][3][4][5] The resulting impact on the patient ranges from no harm to death. [2][3][4][5] While current initiatives and collaborative practices strive to make patient care safer, adverse events still occur.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] The resulting impact on the patient ranges from no harm to death. [2][3][4][5] While current initiatives and collaborative practices strive to make patient care safer, adverse events still occur. In the United States, medical errors have emerged as the third leading cause of death, accounting for more than 250 000 deaths each year.…”

“…In this respect, TNF-α is one of these potent pro-in ammatory markers which orchestrate acute in ammatory cascades throughout the body and the central nervous system as well [51,52]. It is important to note that the above in ammatory markers are all consistently associated with delirium [53,54]. [39,[59][60][61].…”

“…This is in line with other studies [8,29,[40][41][42][43] reporting an elevated risk of suicidal behavior or completed suicide with the occurrence of a somatic disease. To reduce the risk of suicide in patients with somatic comorbidity, it is important that psychiatric interventions (for example, appropriate pain management) are offered close in time to critical events in the course of the somatic illness, i.e., at initial diagnosis, times of deterioration or relapse, and the transition to palliative care [42,44,45]. Somatic comorbidity, used as a covariate in our study, did not independently contribute to increasing suicide, nor was it identified as a unique factor associated with suicide in the multivariate analysis.…”
