Supplementary Material for: Association of subclinical hypothyroidism with suicide attempt

A study of 1,708 first-episode, drug-naïve patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), categorized by early (18-44 years) and late (45-60 years) onset. The dataset includes clinical assessments (HAMD, HAMA, PS-PANSS scores), thyroid hormone levels (TSH, FT3, FT4), and demographic information. It was published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Investigating the association between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and suicide attempts in MDD.
• Analyzing differences in clinical risk factors (e.g., disease duration, anxiety severity) between early- and late-onset MDD groups.
• Modeling the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and psychiatric symptom severity based on HAMD and HAMA scores.

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,708 patient records, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Contains multiple validated clinical assessment scales (HAMD, HAMA, PS-PANSS) and laboratory measurements (TSH, FT3, FT4).
• Explicitly compares two distinct patient cohorts (early- vs. late-onset MDD) for differential analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 58.1 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level data rather than raw patient records.
• Geographic and institutional provenance of the patient sample is not specified, which may affect generalizability.
