Subanalysis of the location of white matter hyperintensities and their association with suicidality in children and youth.
Our previous research with psychiatrically hospitalized children and youth indicates that white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2-weighted MRI images are associated with a history of suicide attempt. This subanalysis of the specific locations of the WMH suggests that youth with deep WMH in the parietal lobe but not in the frontal lobe have a significantly higher prevalence of reported past suicide attempt.
