Laryngeal cancer continues to be the most widespread tumors of the head and neck regions [1,2]. Despite the signifi cant advancements in the care of laryngeal cancer patients during the last several decades, therapeutic complications and the increased attention to quality of life have led to the need to carry out further studies on this population [3]. In addition to laryngeal malignity itself, factors related to acute and late or chronic treatment, secondary primary cancers, intercurrent disease and psychosocial factors are responsible from patient morbidity and mortality. Loss of the protective function of the nose and upper respiratory tracts resulting from the total laryngectomy operation due to larynx cancer make these cases more sensitive to lung infections in comparison with normal

Objective Chronic osteomyelitis (COM) can induce systemic inflammation, and systemic inflammation may be associated with suicide tendency. However, no studies have investigated the correlation between COM and suicide tendency. Methods The aim of this population-based study was to determine the epidemiology of fatal/non-fatal suicide among COM patients. Subjects with at least two outpatient visits or one course of inpatient care diagnosed with COM were recruited into a COM cohort. The control/COM subject ratio was approximately 4:1 matched by age, sex, major depression coding and index year (COM patients). Subjects with suicide attempts before COM diagnosis and subjects aged <20 years were excluded. Results COM patients had 1.93 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11–3.36) times the risk of fatal/non-fatal suicide as control subjects. Considering death as the competing event of fatal/non-fatal suicide, COM patients had 1.76 (95% CI: 1.03–3.01) times the risk of fatal/non-fatal suicide (competing risk regression model). The effect of COM on fatal/non-fatal suicide was more prominent among diabetic patients. COM severity also correlated with the risk of fatal/non-fatal suicide. Conclusions More attention must be paid to suicide tendency among COM patients.
