Concern exists that antidepressants can cause suicidality in youths with depression.
To determine the pooled risk of self-harm and suicidal behaviour from randomised trials of newer antidepressants.
A meta-analysis was carried out to calculate odds ratios for the combined data.
Self-harm or suicide-related events occurred in 71 of 1487 (4.8%) of depressed youths treated with antidepressants v. 38 of 1254 (3.0%) of those given placebo (fixed effects odds ratio 1.70, 95% CI 1.13-2.54, P=0.01). There was a trend for individual suicidal thoughts, attempts and self-harm to occur more often in youths taking antidepressants than in those given placebo, but none of these differences was statistically significant.
Antidepressants may cause a small short-term risk of self-harm or suicidal events in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder.
人们担心抗抑郁药会导致患有抑郁症的青少年出现自杀倾向。
确定新型抗抑郁药随机试验中自我伤害和自杀行为的合并风险。
进行一项荟萃分析以计算合并数据的比值比。
接受抗抑郁药治疗的1487名抑郁青少年中有71人(4.8%)发生了自我伤害或与自杀相关的事件,而接受安慰剂治疗的1254人中有38人(3.0%)发生了此类事件(固定效应比值比1.70,95%置信区间1.13 - 2.54,P = 0.01)。服用抗抑郁药的青少年出现个体自杀念头、自杀未遂和自我伤害的趋势比服用安慰剂的青少年更频繁,但这些差异均无统计学意义。
抗抑郁药可能会给患有重度抑郁症的儿童和青少年带来短期的轻微自我伤害或自杀事件风险。
