N2  - OBJECTIVE: To compare structured clinical assessment versus research measurement of suicidal risk among inpatients with major depression. METHODS: 50 depressed inpatients underwent a structured clinical and an independent research assessment of suicidal risk. Agreement between both assessments and its impact upon time to first readmission was tested. RESULTS: A false negative rate of 25% in the clinical screening of past suicide attempts was associated with older age, concealment and reported lower frequency of suicidal thoughts. Mean times to first readmission (2.5-years follow-up) were 74 weeks (discordant responders) and 118 weeks (concordant responders). CONCLUSION: A failure to detect 25% of patients with past suicide attempt history in the clinical assessment was associated with older age and concealment of suicidal thoughts.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
