Clinical Note-Extracted Psychosocial Factors for Predicting Suicide Attempt Among ED Patients With Suicidal Ideation.
Article in JAMA network open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Importance: The Joint Commission recommends universal suicide screening in emergency departments (EDs), which emphasizes the need to identify at-risk individuals. Existing suicide risk prediction models rely primarily on clinical data and demonstrate limited performance. The potential of incorporating psychosocial information to enhance predictive performance remains understudied. Objective: To evaluate whether augmenting clinical data-based risk scores with psychosocial factors improves the prediction of suicide attempt (SA). Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective prognostic study based on electronic health record data included 4661 ED patients discharged after presentation for suicidal ideation (SI) from middle Tennessee hospitals between June 1, 2018, and February 27, 2024. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was SA within 90 days of ED admission and time-to-event in days. Clinical data-based Vanderbilt Suicide Attempt and Ideation Likelihood (VSAIL) score and 6 psychosocial factors (homelessness, financial insecurity, chronic stress, social isolation, loneliness, and adverse childhood experiences) derived from clinical notes were integrated using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Performance metrics included area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC), area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity. Performance was evaluated for models trained on (1) VSAIL, (2) psychosocial factors, and (3) VSAIL plus psychosocial factors. Results: This study included 3382 Vanderbilt University Hospital (VUH) (mean [SD] age, 26.1 [15.6] years; 1751 males [51.8%]) and 1279 Regional Health Systems (RHS) (mean [SD] age, 34.5 [18.0] years; 715 males [55.9%]) ED visits for SI. Within 90 days, SAs were reported in 160 (4.7%) VUH and 34 (2.7%) RHS ED visits for SI. Compared with VSAIL alone, VSAIL plus psychosocial factors was associated with significantly increased median AUROC (VUH: 0.645 [IQR, 0.645-0.645] vs 0.734 [IQR, 0.719-0.747]; P < .001; RHS: 0.547 [IQR, 0.547-0.547] vs 0.680 [IQR, 0.672-0.687]; P < .001), AUPRC (VUH: 0.083 [IQR, 0.083-0.083] vs 0.122 [IQR, 0.111-0.137]; P < .001; RHS: 0.029 [IQR, 0.029-0.029] vs 0.054 [IQR, 0.052-0.058]; P < .001), and PPV (VUH: 0.093 [IQR, 0.082-0.094] vs 0.143 [IQR, 0.123-0.161]; P < .001; RHS: 0.042 [IQR, 0.040-0.043] vs 0.112 [IQR, 0.096-0.129]; P < .001) while maintaining specificities above 0.90. Chronic stress emerged as the strongest predictor of SA (β = 0.643 [95% CI, 0.427-0.859]; P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance: In this prognostic study of patients discharged from the ED after presentation for SI, augmenting a clinical data-based suicide risk prediction model with clinical note-extracted psychosocial factors was associated with significantly higher predictive performance. These findings suggest that psychosocial factors can enhance risk stratification and support targeted interventions, such as therapies addressing chronic stress.
