    consecutively studied borderline inpatients, with an aver-

    age of three or more attempts at the time of initial assess-

    ment (4). Comorbidity with borderline personality disor-

    der increases the likelihood of suicidal behavior in other

    high-risk disorders (5). Some population studies found a

    comorbid diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in

    one-quarter to one-third of completed suicides (6, 7), and

    in half of parasuicidal patients admitted to hospital (8),

    although prevalence varied greatly with sample character-

    istics and study methods. With a suicide completion rateup to 10% and a community prevalence estimated at 2%

    in the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study (9), border-

    line personality disorder is a high-risk, clinically relevant

    model for the study of suicidal behavior.

    A history of prior attempts is among the most power-

    ful predictors of completed suicide. While only 10%15%

    of suicide attempters become completers, 30%40% of

    completers have a history of attempts (10). Previous at-

    tempts increase the likelihood of subsequent attempts

    Suicide is a rare event, with an incidence of 12.0 deathsper 100,000 population (www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/sui-

    cide.htm). The rarity of suicide makes it impossible to pre-

    dict on the basis of known risk factors if or when a given

    patient will die by suicide (1). While it is impossible to pre-

    dict individual suicides, suicide rates in the general popu-

    lation may be reduced by systematic physician education

    on the identication and treatment of modiable risk fac-

    tors (2). Identifying clinically relevant risk and protective

    factors requires prospective studies of patients at highrisk for suicide that use multidimensional assessments

    and systematic follow-up. The results of such studies are

    immediately applicable to clinical assessments and treat-

    ment interventions.

    Borderline personality disorder is the only DSM-IV di-

    agnosis dened in part by recurrent suicidal and self-in-

    jurious behaviors (called the behavioral specialty of the

    borderline patient by Gunderson and Ridol [3]). In one

    study, history of suicide attempt was noted in over 70% of

    ment. Written informed consent was obtained after participants

    were given a complete description of the study. Participantswere assessed in multiple sessions by experienced masters-levelclinical raters using semistructured interviews and standard-ized self-rated and interviewer-rated measures. Axis I diagnoses

    were made using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R(SCID; 14). DSM-IV criteria were used after that version was intro-duced. Axis II disorders were diagnosed using the International

    Personality Disorders Examination, which has a lifetime timeframe (15), and borderline personality disorder was diagnosedusing the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline Patients (DIB; 16),

    which has a 3-month to 2-year time frame for subsection scores.

    The Diagnostic Interview for Borderline PatientsRevised (DIB-R)was added when that version became available (17), and it wasscored concurrently to preserve continuity with the longitudinalstudy. The DIB-R has a 2-year time frame. For inclusion in thestudy, participants met criteria for probable or denite bor-derline personality disorder on the International Personality Dis-orders Examination and denite on both versions of the DIB.Exclusion criteria included presence of schizophrenia, delusional(paranoid) disorder, schizoaffective disorder, any bipolar disor-der, psychotic depression, CNS pathology (e.g., organic mooddisorders and seizure disorder), drug or alcohol dependence,

    physical disorders with known psychiatric consequences (e.g.,hypothyroidism), and borderline intellectual functioning (IQ

    In the 6-year interval, 25 participants (27.8%) reported

    medically signicant suicide attempts. The survival curve

    (Figure 1) illustrates the fact that most suicidal behavior

    occurred in the rst 2 years (24.8% of 133 participants at

    2 years) (13). Selected bivariate comparisons between

    groups are presented in Table 1. (Bivariate comparisons for

    all variables in the study are presented in Tables S1S6 in

    the data supplement that accompanies the online editionof this article.) Attempters differed from nonattempters in

    having signicantly lower socioeconomic status, less edu-

    cation, and poorer social adjustment at baseline (p

    ing at year 6 was most signicant in the family, social, and

    vocational subscales of the Social Adjustment Scale. Good

    social support is a known protective factor against suicide,

    buffering the adverse effects of negative life events, which

    are prominent in the lives of patients with borderline per-

    sonality disorder (31). Negative life events among patients

    in the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders

    Study predicted suicidal behavior in the month duringand preceding the adverse events (32). Poor GAF scores

    at baseline and poor family relationships were signicant

    predictors of poor psychosocial outcomes among border-

    line patients at the 2-year follow-up (33). Functional im-

    pairment in social relationships changed little despite im-

    provement in diagnostic criteria (34). The McLean Study

    of Adult Development found that half of the subjects with

    borderline personality disorder failed to achieve social

    and vocational recovery at the 10-year follow-up despite

    symptomatic remission of diagnostic criteria in 93% (35).

    Vocational failure contributed most to poor psychosocial

    functioning. Suicidal and self-injurious behaviors remit-

    ted early in the course of the McLean study (35); however,

    symptomatic improvement did not prevent poor psycho-

    social outcome in the long term. If the majority of border-

    line patients can expect symptomatic remission in time,

    who dies by suicide?

    The attempters in our study are characterized by low

    socioeconomic status, low educational achievement, and

    poor psychosocial adjustment. Across many studies, poor

    psychosocial functioning is a predictor of suicidal behav-

    ior independent of diagnoses (5) and a predictor of high-

    lethality attempts and suicide completion in some, but not

    all, studies of borderline personality disorder (9) as well

    attempts were predicted by major depressive disorder, an

    acute stressor. Thereafter, no acute clinical stressors pre-

    dicted attempts. Both of these results may be attributable

    to illness severity and inpatient recruitment for nearly half

    of this sample. The frequency of repeat suicide attempts

    in the year after hospitalization for an index attempt has

    been reported at 17%, independent of diagnosis (29). The

    Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study,a prospective study including borderline personality dis-

    order, found that 20.5% of treatment-seeking borderline

    patients attempted suicide during the rst 2 years of the

    study (30). Worsening of major depressive disorder pre-

    dicted suicide attempt in the following month in that

    studys pooled personality disorders sample. Suicide at-

    tempt after hospitalization (and predicted by major de-

    pressive disorder) strongly suggests persisting depression.

    Similarly, illness severity, marked by psychiatric hospi-

    talizations in the follow-up interval (but preceding any

    attempt), was predictive of subsequent attempt through

    the fourth year of follow-up. Notably, any outpatient treat-

    ment in the 12-month interval was associated with lower

    suicide risk, suggesting the successful treatment of ma-

    jor depressive disorder or decreased illness severity. The

    absence of outpatient treatment remained a predictor of

    suicide risk in the 6-year follow-up. The most consistent

    predictors of suicide attempt across all intervals were

    measures of psychosocial and global functioning. Poor

    psychosocial functioning predicted increased risk of sui-

    cidal behavior at 12 months, 2 years, and 6 years, while a

    high GAS score at baseline was protective at 4- and 6-year

    intervals. By the sixth year, low socioeconomic status was

    also a predictor of high risk. Poor psychosocial function-

    To identify subjects who had increasing degrees of med-

    ical lethality with recurrent attempts, we recently reported

    a trajectory analysis of Lethality Rating Scale scores in bor-

    derline patients who had three or more suicide attempts

    (38). Two distinct patterns were identied: a low-lethality

    group of subjects who had recurrent but minimally lethal

    behaviors, and a high-lethality group who had increasingmedical lethality scores with recurrent attempts. Those

    with the high-lethality trajectory were characterized by

    inpatient recruitment (a severity marker) and poor psy-

    chosocial functioning, while the low-lethality group had

    more negativism, substance use disorders, and histrionic

    or narcissistic comorbidity.

    Our sample is still young (mean age=29 years) and early

    in the trajectory of their suicidal behaviors. However, after

    6 years of follow-up, we have observed that low socioeco-

    nomic status, poor psychosocial adjustment, and absence

    of outpatient treatment are predictors of suicidal behavior.

    We suggest that these are characteristics of a poor progno-sis subtype. By follow-up at 4 and 6 years, a family history

    of suicide is a prominent risk variable. This risk factor in-

    cludes heritable biological traits that increase vulnerabil-

    ity to suicidal behavior. The poor prognosis subtype may

    include a biological diathesis to suicidal behavior.

    We did not nd any predictive associations between

    risk factors such as impulsivity or aggression, comorbidity

    with antisocial personality disorder, history of childhood

    maltreatment, and suicide attempts during the study in-

    terval, although each of these factors has been associated

    with suicidal behavior in borderline personality disorder

    in cross-diagnostic studies, psychological autopsy studies,

    as in nonclinical populations. Community members with

    personality disorders who complete suicide have more

    problems with relationships, jobs, unemployment, and

    family compared with community members with no per-

    sonality disorders who complete suicide (9). Community

    subjects with borderline personality disorder have lower

    educational and vocational achievement than subjectswith other personality disorders, and they are more likely

    than other axis II patients to be receiving disability pay-

    ments (36).

    Recurrent suicidal behavior early in the course of bor-

    derline personality disorder is often characterized by im-

    pulsive, angry acts in response to acute stressors, such as

    perceived rejection. These are communicative gestures

    (i.e., impulsive behaviors with little lethal intent, objec-

    tive planning, or medical consequences). Impulsivity in

    borderline personality disorder is signicantly associated

    with number of suicide attempts but not degree of medical

    lethality (9). The McLean study found that manipulativesuicide efforts diminished with time, from 56.4% of sub-

    jects at year 2 to 4.2% by year 10 (35). Completed suicide in

    borderline personality disorder tends to occur after many

    years of illness, failure to benet from treatment, loss of

    supportive relationships, and social isolation. In their 27-

    year naturalistic follow-up study, Paris and Zweig-Frank

    (37) observed that borderline patients who completed

    suicide had burned out their social supports and were

    no longer involved in active treatment. The average age

    at death was 37 years. This suggests that there may be a

    high-lethality subgroup of borderline patients with poor

    prognosis who are at greater risk over time.

    or retrospective chart reviews of suicides (9). Impulsivity

    is a diagnostic criterion for borderline personality disor-

    der and is associated with number of suicide attempts but

    not with medical lethality. The McLean study showed that

    core symptoms of borderline personality disorder, includ-

    ing impulsivity, diminish over a 10-year period (35). We

    observed that such borderline symptoms had no predic-

    tive value for suicidal behavior in the long term.A review of deaths occurring in this study suggests

    that substance use disorders are a risk factor for prema-

    ture death in patients with borderline personality disor-

    der. Substance use disorders are common in this sample

    (59.6%). Although the diagnosis does not distinguish at-

    tempters (64%) from nonattempters (57.8%) or prospec-

    tively predict suicide attempts, the mortality associated

    with substance use disorders in our sample is a strong

    argument for early diagnosis and intervention for this co-

    morbid condition.

    We identied only one denite death by suicide at 6

    years. Suicide rates vary widely among prospective stud-ies, from 0.86% in the Collaborative Longitudinal Person-

    ality Disorders Study at 7 years (39) to 4.1% in the McLean

    study at 10 years (35). Recruitment source, which is related

    to illness severity, and prospective study designs may in-

    uence completion rates. Prospective studies rely on co-

    operative participants who comply with repeated follow-

    up interviews over many years. This design is required to

    assess the predictive power of predened suicide risk fac-

    tors; however, the resulting sample may exclude unstable

    patients who are more likely to drop out of treatment and

    complete suicide. With a mean age of 29 years, our sample

    is still not in the age range of highest risk for suicide andmay experience further mortality in the years to come.

    Our data suggest that outpatient treatment directed at

    enhancing family, social, and vocational functioning de-

    creases the likelihood of suicidal behavior in borderline

    patients. However, our design does not permit inferences

    on treatment effectiveness, which would require random

    assignment to systematic treatments and comparison

    with control conditions. In a naturalistic design, it is likely

    that higher-functioning patients will choose to participate

    in treatment (and get the most out of it), while lower-func-

    tioning patients may not. This limits the interpretation of

    treatment participation in our data. Current treatment

    modalities for borderline personality disorder (e.g., dia-

    lectical behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy) are fo-

    cused on symptomatic relief. A psychiatric rehabilitation

    model for borderline patients, emphasizing skills training

    and family involvement, may be required to improve long-

    term outcomes (40).
