Prevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation with dermatological morbidities

Background: The dermatologic consultation might be a precious opportunity to recognize and treat depression associated with suicidal ideation in these patients. This study aimed to find the prevalence of suicidal ideation among patients with dermatologic conditions, and identifying demographic variables of suicidal ideation. Methods: This institution based cross-sectional study was conducted during February to March 2017, at dermatological out-patients department of the teaching hospital Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Patna, India. Results: Of 396 adults with skin disease 272 (68.69%) were male. Prevalence of suicidal tendency was significantly more among young adults and higher in females (38.7%) than males (1.5%). In males, suicidal tendency was in patients suffering from tinea infection while among females, significantly more observed among patients suffering from tinea 38.71%, psoriasis 22.58% and chronic idiopathic urticaria 16.13%. The risk of suicidal tendency in males were significantly higher among 18–20 years, unemployed, belongs to smaller family, having lower body mass index and suffering from depression. While in females, suicidal tendency was significantly higher among early adulthood, not or lower education, unemployed, no personal income and vegetarian, belongs to large family, no family support, having lower body mass index and suffering from depression as well as suffering from some other medical comorbidity in addition to skin diseases. Conclusions: Risk correlates of suicidal ideation with skin diseases were early adulthood, lower education, unemployment with no personal income, vegetarian diet, large family, no family support, lower body mass index and suffering from depression and comorbidities.

Object The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, including microscope-assisted tubular lumbar microdiscectomy (tLMD), has gained increasing popularity in treating lumbar disc herniations (LDHs). This particular procedure has been shown to be both cost-efficient and effective, resulting in outcomes comparable to those of open surgical procedures. Lumbar disc herniation recurrence necessitating reoperation, however, remains an issue following spinal surgery, with an overall reported incidence of approximately 3–13%. The authors' aim in the present study was to report their experience using tLMD for single-level LDH, hoping to provide further insight into the rate of surgical recurrence and to identify potential risk factors leading to this complication. Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of 217 patients who underwent tLMD for single-level LDH performed identically by 2 surgeons (J.B., R.H.) between 2004 and 2008. Evaluation for LDH recurrence included detailed medical chart review and telephone interview. Recurrent LDH was defined as the return of preoperative signs and symptoms after an interval of postoperative resolution, in conjunction with radiographic demonstration of ipsilateral disc herniation at the same level and pathological confirmation of disc material. A cohort of patients without recurrence was used for comparison to identify possible risk factors for recurrent LDH. Results Of the 147 patients for whom the authors were able to definitively assess symptomatic recurrence status, 14 patients (9.5%) experienced LDH recurrence following single-level tLMD. The most common level involved was L5–S1 (42.9%) and the mean length of time to recurrence was 12 weeks (range 1.5–52 weeks). Sixty-four percent of the patients were male. In a comparison with patients without recurrence, the authors found that relatively lower body mass index was significantly associated with recurrence (p = 0.005), such that LDH in nonobese patients was more likely to recur. Conclusions Recurrence rates following tLMD for LDH compare favorably with those in patients who have undergone open discectomy, lending further support for its effectiveness in treating single-level LDH. Nonobese patients with a relatively lower body mass index, in particular, appear to be at greater risk for recurrence.
