| Abstract |
Patients with schizophrenia have an elevated risk of suicidal behavior. We explored whether there were age differences in inpatients with schizophrenia admitted for suicidal behavior. We compared demographic/clinical characteristics of 76 inpatients aged > 59 to those < 60. All patients had a score greater > 0 on items 4 (active suicidality) and/or 5 (passive suicidality) on the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation for inclusion. There were no significant group differences with respect to race, education, depressive symptoms or negative symptoms. There was evidence suggesting that hallucinations appear to be less prominent in the older group. Future studies will determine whether these age related differences are stable over time and could account for potential age differences in suicidal behavior in individuals with schizophrenia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 February 2019.
All research outputs
#15,498,204
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from Community Mental Health Journal
#836
of 1,294 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,584
of 330,033 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Community Mental Health Journal
#17
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,294 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,033 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
