A high rate of suicide has been reported in patients who sustain
fractures, but the association remains uncertain in the context
of other factors. The aim of this study was to examine the association
between fractures and the risk of suicide in this contextual setting. We performed a case-control study of patients aged 40 years or
older who died by suicide between 2000 and 2011. We included patients’
demographics, physical and mental health problems, and socioeconomic
factors. We performed conditional logistic regression to evaluate
the associations between fractures and the risk of suicide.Aims
