“…The results of our study are in line with those reported by Zalpuri and Rothschild's comprehensive review, which did not include a meta‐analytic leg, suggesting an increased risk of suicidal attempt in PMD patients compared to non‐PMD ones. Our study, though, comprised 20 studies, thus seven more than the above‐mentioned systematic review, which included 14 studies, with one of them not meeting our inclusion criteria.
