Lindh AU, et al. - Researchers examined the predictive validity of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) in a Swedish cohort of adults (n=804) presenting for psychiatric emergency assessment after an episode of self-harm with or without suicidal intent. C-SSRS items frequency, duration, and deterrents were found to be associated with elevated short-term risk, as were both the suicidal ideation intensity score and the C-SSRS total score. However, both scores had limited ability to correctly predict future suicidal behavior.
