Objective
Mild TBI (mTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are independent risk factors for suicidal behaviour (SB). Further, co-occurring mTBI and PTSD increase one’s risk for negative health and psychiatric outcomes. However, little research has examined the role of comorbid mTBI and PTSD on suicide risk.
Methods
The present study utilized data from the Injury and TRaUmatic STress (INTRuST) Consortium to examine the prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) and behaviours among four groups: 1) comorbid mTBI+PTSD, 2) PTSD only, 3) mTBI only, and 4) healthy controls.
Results
Prevalence of lifetime SI, current SI, and lifetime SB for individuals with mTBI+PTSD was 40%, 25%, and 19%, respectively. Prevalence of lifetime SI, current SI, and lifetime SB for individuals with PTSD only was 29%, 11%, and 11%, respectively. Prevalence of lifetime SI, current SI, and lifetime SB for individuals with mTBI only was 14%, 1%, and 2%, respectively. Group comparisons showed that individuals with mTBI alone experienced elevated rates of lifetime SI compared to healthy controls. History of mTBI did not add significantly to risk for suicidal ideation and behaviour beyond what is accounted for by PTSD.
Conclusion
Findings suggest that PTSD seems to be driving risk for suicidal behaviour.

INTRuST联盟的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和轻度TBI(mTBI)历史对自杀的贡献。
目的
轻度TBI(mTBI)和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)是自杀行为(SB)的独立危险因素。此外,同时发生的mTBI和PTSD会增加人们负面健康和精神病学预后的风险。但是,很少有研究检查合并的mTBI和PTSD在自杀风险中的作用。
方法
本研究利用伤害和创伤压力(INTRuST)联盟的数据来检验自杀意念(SI)的发生率和四组之间的行为:1)合并mTBI + PTSD,2)仅PTSD,3)仅mTBI,和4 )健康的对照。
结果
mTBI + PTSD患者的生存期SI,当前SI和生存期SB的患病率分别为40%,25%和19%。PTSD患者的一生SI,当前SI和一生SB的患病率分别仅为29%,11%和11%。仅mTBI患者的生存期SI,当前SI和生存期SB的患病率分别为14%,1%和2%。小组比较显示,与健康对照组相比,仅患有mTBI的个体终身SI发生率升高。mTBI的历史并没有显着增加自杀意念和行为的风险,超出了PTSD的范围。
结论
研究结果表明,PTSD似乎正在增加自杀行为的风险。
