Predicting suicide attempts among people with diabetes using a large multicenter electronic health records dataset.
This study’s goal was to determine the risk factors for suicidal behaviors of people with diabetes as they have a higher risk than the general population. The authors investigated risk factors and predicted suicide attempts in people with diabetes using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression. They used data from Cerner Real-World Data™ and included over 3 million diabetes patients in the study. They analyzed gender-, diabetes-type, and depression-specific LASSO regression models. The study included 7764 subjects diagnosed with suicide attempts with an average age of 45. They found risk factors for suicide attempts in diabetes patients, such as being an American Indian or Alaska Native, atypical agents, benzodiazepines, and antihistamines. Amyotrophy had a negative coefficient for suicide attempts with males with diabetes but had a positive coefficient for females. Using MAOI had a negative coefficient for suicide attempts in T1DM patients. Patients less than 20 years of age had a positive coefficient for suicide in depressed and non-depressed patients with diabetes.

Improving the management of chronic pain, opioid use, and opioid use disorder in older adults: study protocol for i-cope study.
This article describes a protocol for an upcoming study on the planned implementation and evaluation of I-COPE (Improving Chicago Older Adult Opioid and Pain Management through Patient-centered Clinical Decision Support and Project ECHO®) to improve care for older adults with chronic pain, opioid use, and opioid use disorder (OUD). The study will be implemented in 35 clinical sites across the metropolitan Chicago area for patients aged ≥ 65 with chronic pain, opioid use, or OUD who receive primary care at one of the clinics. I-COPE includes the integration of patient-reported data on symptoms and preferences, clinical decision support tools and shared decision making into routine primary care. Primary care providers will be trained on the tools through web-based videos and an optional Project ECHO® course, entitled "Pain Management and OUD in Older Adults." A framework called RE-AIM will be used to assess the I-COPE implementation. Outcomes considered effective include an increased variety of recommended pain treatments, decreased prescriptions of higher-risk pain treatments, and decreased patient pain scores. Outcomes will be evaluated at 6 and 12 months after implementation, and PCPs participating in Project ECHO® will be evaluated on changes in knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy using pre- and post-course surveys.

Feasibility and acceptability of an online positive affect intervention for those living with comorbid HIV depression.
Positive affect has unique beneficial effects on psychological and physical health, independent of the effects of negative affect. Interventions that explicitly target positive affect show promise for improving health outcomes in a number of chronic illnesses. In this article, the investigators present pilot data on the acceptability and feasibility of an online intervention to increase positive affect in those living with comorbid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and depression.

Using a data mining approach to discover behavior correlates of chronic disease: a case study of depression.
The purposes of this methodological paper are: 1) to describe data mining methods for building a classification model for a chronic disease using a U.S. behavior risk factor data set, and 2) to illustrate application of the methods using a case study of depressive disorder. Its application of data mining strategies identified childhood experience living with mentally ill and sexual abuse, and limited usual activity as the strongest correlates of depression among hundreds of variables.
