Abstract

BACKGROUND: Literature on how to translate information extracted from clinical progress notes into numeric scores for 3-step theory of suicide (3ST) factors is nonexistent. We determined which scoring option would best discriminate between patients who will attempt or die by suicide and patients with neither suicidal ideation nor attempts, and we tested hypotheses related to the 3ST.
