Abstract

This study aimed to assess suicide risk among individuals diagnosed with cancer shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to those diagnosed earlier. Data were obtained from the National Cancer Registry in Japan, which included 4 711 540 individuals diagnosed between January 2016 and June 2020. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for suicide within 6 months of diagnosis were quantified using the general population as a reference. Those diagnosed between April and June 2020 had an SMR of 3.93 (95% confidence interval: 3.10-4.91), higher than those diagnosed in earlier periods. Additionally, multivariate Poisson regression showed an adjusted relative risk of 1.30 (95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.63) for individuals diagnosed during the pandemic compared to earlier periods. These findings suggest that individuals diagnosed with cancer shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic had a higher suicide risk than those diagnosed earlier.

在COVID-19大流行期间与之前被诊断患有癌症的个体的自杀风险:一项基于全国人群的研究
这项研究旨在评估在COVID-19大流行爆发后不久被诊断患有癌症的个体与早期诊断的个体相比的自杀风险。数据来自日本国家癌症登记处,其中包括2016年1月至2020年6月期间诊断的471540名患者。以一般人群为参照,量化诊断后6个月内自杀的标准化死亡率(SMRs)。2020年4月至6月诊断的患者的SMR为3.93(95%置信区间:3.10-4.91),高于早期诊断的患者。此外,多变量泊松回归显示,与早期相比,大流行期间诊断的个体的调整相对风险为1.30(95%置信区间:1.03-1.63)。这些发现表明,在COVID-19大流行爆发后不久被诊断出患有癌症的个体比早期诊断出患有癌症的个体有更高的自杀风险。
