| Abstract |
Prostate-cancer diagnosis increases the risk for psychiatric morbidity and suicide. Thoughts about one's own death could indicate need for psychiatric care among men with localized prostate cancer. We studied the prevalence and predictors of thoughts about own death among men with prostate cancer. Of the 3930 men in the prospective, multi-centre LAPPRO-trial, having radical prostatectomy, 3154 (80%) answered two study-specific questionnaires, before and three months after surgery. Multivariable prognostic models were built with stepwise regression and Bayesian Model Averaging. After surgery 46% had thoughts about their own death. Extra-prostatic tumor-growth [Adjusted Odds-Ratio 2.06, 95% Confidence Interval 1.66-2.56], university education [OR 1.66, CI 1.35-2.05], uncertainty [OR 2.20, CI 1.73-2.82], low control [OR 2.21, CI 1.68-2.91], loneliness [OR 1.75, CI 1.30-2.35], being a burden [OR 1.59, CI 1.23-2.07], and crying [OR 1.55, CI 1.23-1.96] before surgery predicted thoughts about one's own death after surgery. We identified predictors for thoughts about one's own death after prostate cancer diagnosis and surgery. These factors may facilitate the identification of psychiatric morbidity and those who might benefit from psychosocial support already during primary treatment. |

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 12 December 2017.
All research outputs
#15,485,255
of 23,011,300 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#3,146
of 4,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#266,705
of 439,491 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#67
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,011,300 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 4,641 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% 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 439,491 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
