title: Previously suicidal adolescents: predictors of six-month outcome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the baseline variables, including borderline personality disorder (BPD), associated with the six-month outcome of previously suicidal adolescents (n=263) presenting to an emergency department and treated predominantly as out-patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between baseline variables and suicidality at six-month follow-up.
  
  
  RESULTS
  BPD, previous suicide attempt(s), drug use and female gender were associated with subsequent suicidality.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These findings corroborate previously reported risk factors for recurring suicidality among adolescents and broaden their generalizability to those presenting to an emergency department, many diagnosed with BPD.
