Description
Ting Meng and five co-authors pool cohort studies on whether heart failure raises the risk of suicide. Their systematic review and meta-analysis was published in twenty twenty-six. Heart failure is a long, limiting illness, and its mental toll is well known, but the suicide link needed a firm summary.
The team searched three databases for long-term studies of suicide death or attempts in people with heart failure. Study quality was scored with a standard scale. Since death and attempts are distinct outcomes, they were handled apart. The main pooling used studies that reported adjusted risk of suicide death. Attempts were summed up in words, as only two studies existed and they differed greatly. The review gives clinicians a clearer view of a risk that calls for screening and support.
