Key Points Question Can prediction of suicide attempts after psychiatric hospitalization be improved using frequent assessments of the level and variability of an individual’s suicidal thoughts? Findings In this prognostic study of 83 adult psychiatric inpatients, prediction of posthospital suicide attempts was fair when using only baseline data, improved in a model using mean level of suicidal thinking during hospitalization, and improved further in a model including dynamic features of suicidal thoughts. Meaning These findings suggest that data on real-time, dynamic changes in suicidal thoughts could improve prediction of suicide attempts during the high-risk period following psychiatric hospitalization.
