Global cross-cultural validation of a brief measure for identifying potential suicide risk in 42 countries.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the P4 suicide screener in a multinational sample. The primary goal was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale and investigate its convergent validity by analyzing its correlation with depression, anxiety, and substance use. STUDY DESIGN: The study design is a cross-sectional self-report study conducted across 42 countries. METHODS: A cross-sectional, self-report study was conducted in 42 countries, with a total of 82,243 participants included in the final data set. RESULTS: The study provides an overview of suicide ideation rates across 42 countries and confirms the structural validity of the P4 screener. The findings indicated that sexual and gender minority individuals exhibited higher rates of suicidal ideation. The P4 screener showed adequate reliability, convergence, and discriminant validity, and a cutoff score of 1 is recommended to identify individuals at risk of suicidal behavior. CONCLUSIONS: The study supports the reliability and validity of the P4 suicide screener across 42 diverse countries, highlighting the importance of using a cross-cultural suicide risk assessment to standardize the identification of high-risk individuals and tailoring culturally sensitive suicide prevention strategies.

[Spontaneous bladder perforation secondary to bacterial cystitis. Cause of acute abdomen in diabetic elderly]. / Perforación vesical espontánea secundaria a cistitis bacteriana. Causa de abdomen agudo en ancianos diabéticos.

Presentation of two clinical cases of spontaneous vesical rupture secondary to bacterial cystitis in elderly patients. One corresponds to an intraperitoneal perforation while the second case was extraperitoneal. The patients were, in both cases, diabetic women admitted in emergency due to acute abdomen. We considered that although vesical perforation secondary to bacterial cystitis is a very uncommon process, it should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in predisposed patients (diabetic elderly patients with pyuria). In such instances, a retrograde cystography would provide the diagnosis. Although extraperitoneal vesical perforations can be resolved with a vesical catheter or cystostomy, extravasation of the infected urine may result in a perivesical abscess and septic shock. Early surgical management should be considered in these cases.
