TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - High hs-CRP levels after an attempted suicide: a matched case-control study JO - Journal of affective disorders reports A1 - Toffol, Elena A1 - Miola, Alessandro A1 - Magnolfi, Gianna A1 - Trevisan, Giacomo A1 - Scocco, Paolo SP - e100381 EP - e100381 VL - 10 IS - N2 - We found significantly higher levels of hs-CRP in 27 subjects who had recently attempted suicide compared to 27 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. Moreover, the levels of hs-CRP in suicide attempters were not related to background or psychopathological characteristics, nor to the methods of suicide attempt. Our matched case-control study confirms previous observations of high levels of the inflammation marker hs-CRP in patients who have attempted suicide, irrespective of their underlying type and levels of psychopathology.
