Self-harm is one of the most important antecedents to suicide and an important health and societal issue in its own right. Health care services have an important role to play in providing care and intervention after self-harm. As researchers, we often call for more research but there is already a substantial evidence base for the prevention of suicide and self-harm that has built up over the years. Perhaps the most pressing concern currently is the failure to implement what we know. In this Personal View, we summarise three recent national quality improvement programmes in England—one focused on suicide prevention, and two on self-harm. Aggregate observational data suggest that the initiatives might have been associated with positive outcomes in terms of reductions in the incidence of suicide and self-harm; but possibly more striking was the activity and innovation that the programmes generated. We argue that quality improvement approaches focused on suicide prevention and self-harm intervention have the potential to address the implementation gap in service provision and save lives.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"160 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate primarily the association between psychopharmacological treatments and hospitalisation (ie, hospital admission) for bipolar depression, and secondarily the association between psychopharmacological treatments and hospitalisation for bipolar mania and somatic reasons in a registry-based national Swedish cohort.<h3>Methods</h3>In this within-subject analysis, people diagnosed with bipolar disorder were identified from Swedish nationwide registers of inpatient and specialised outpatient care, sickness absence, and disability pension between Jan 1, 2006, and Dec 31, 2021. Data for hospitalisations, and antidepressant, antipsychotic, and mood stabiliser medication use were also retrieved from national databases. Treatment periods were modelled using the PRE2DUP method. Data were analysed with a within-individual design with stratified Cox Regression models, to eliminate selection bias when calculating adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% CIs. The main outcome was hospitalisation due to depression and secondary outcomes were mania-related and somatic hospitalisations to address the risk–benefit ratio of antidepressant treatment. The reference was non-use of antidepressant, antipsychotic, and mood stabiliser medications. We also did head-to-head comparisons (ie, comparing different drug use periods within the same individual against each other) between medications to obtain results on comparative effectiveness while minimising confounding by indication. Ethnicity data were not available. People with related lived experience were involved in the research and writing process.<h3>Findings</h3>The study cohort included 105 495 individuals (mean age 44·2 years, SD 18·8; 65 607 [62·2%] women and 39 888 [37·8%] men). In medication class-based analyses, a higher risk of depression-related hospitalisation was associated with the use of antidepressant only (aHR 1·25, 95% CI 1·16–1·34), antipsychotic only (1·39, 1·24–1·55), antidepressant–antipsychotic combination (1·28, 1·18–1·39), and antipsychotic–mood stabiliser combination treatment (1·13, 1·03–1·24). By contrast, use of mood stabilisers only (0·89, 0·81–0·98) was associated with lower risk. For specific monotherapies, only lithium was associated with lower depression-related hospitalisation risk (0·75, 0·67–0·85). No specific antidepressant monotherapy was associated with reduced depression-related hospitalisation, while several antidepressants and antipsychotics were related to an increased risk. In head-to-head comparisons, lithium monotherapy was associated with a superior outcome compared with antidepressant monotherapy (0·59, 0·51–0·68), antipsychotic monotherapy (0·54, 0·44–0·66), lamotrigine monotherapy (0·69, 0·53–0·91), and quetiapine monotherapy (0·54, 0·41–0·71).
