Detection of Suicide Attempters among Suicide Ideators Using Machine Learning

Abstract: Objective We aimed to develop predictive models to identify suicide attempters among individuals with suicide ideation using a machine learning algorithm. Methods Among 35,116 individuals aged over 19 years from the Korea National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey, we selected 5,773 subjects who reported experiencing suicide ideation and had answered a survey question about suicide attempts. Then, we performed resampling with the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique (SMOTE) to obtain data correspondi… Show more

“…The number of variables available for splitting at each tree node (mtry) was determined by the best performing mtry option in the training cohort. Due to the imbalanced outcome in the training data, (Cohort 1: 52 Deaths vs. 16 Survivals), a data balancing algorithm, SMOTE (Ryu et al, 2002 ), was applied in the training process to artificially balance the training data.…”

“…Data collected during the medical visit provided a statistically significant improvement in the prediction of suicidal risk, but with a low effect size. A Korean team [30] sought to identify patients at risk of suicide among those who expressed suicidal ideations in a self-administered questionnaire, by analyzing retrospective data from a national database. This team reported good overall performance, with an accuracy of 88.9% and an AUC of 0.947.…”

“…However, given the low base rate of suicide in the general population, the results based on our data are valuable as they allow us to gain insights into explicit and implicit suicide cognition in an otherwise difficult to obtain group of respondents. Various studies that aimed to build prediction models to detect suicide attempters apply a commonly used method of oversampling suicide attempters 84 .…”
