Fig. 2: Latent class analysis sub-group identification based on health care indicators associated with suicide death in individuals A) with and B) without a mental health diagnosis.
From: Detecting and distinguishing indicators of risk for suicide using clinical records
For each mental health stratum, latent class analysis (LCA) was performed based on health care indicators identified in the respective penalized regression models in the discovery sample. LCA was performed in the discovery sample (D), followed by confirmatory LCA in the validation sample (V). The frequency of cases is displayed overall and for each LCA sub-group for both D and V samples. Within each stratum, the LCA sub-group-specific frequency are displayed for those health care indicators where at least 9 of the 10 ratios of the pairwise group frequencies were >1.5 (ie. sub-group distinguishing indicators).
