FIGURE 2Accuracy of predicting suicide/intentional self‐injury
Calculation of SDoH suicide scores for a hospitalized patient
| Patient ID 1 | Score | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 10 non‐V‐code diagnoses (ignored as these are not social determinants of health) | 1.00 | |
| 2. Age | First onset of V‐code at 55 | 4.58 |
| 3. Gender | Male | 0.93 |
| 4 V‐codes | V60.0 Lack of housing | 18.65 |
| No other | 1.0 | |
| 5. Product of likelihood ratios, 1.00*4.58*0.93*18.65*1.0 = 79.40 | 79.40 | |
| 6. Prior odds of suicide | 0.02 | |
| 7. Odds of suicide, 79.4*0.02 = 1.52 | 1.52 | |
| 8. Predicted probability of suicide, 1.52/(1 + 1.52) = 0.60 | 0.60 | |
