['To investigate the possibility if alexithymia could be used as a predictor of attempted suicide among patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.', 'The study was based on 127 veterans from the 1991-1995 war in Croatia. All the patients involved in this study were previously diagnosed with PTSD. The questionnaires (socio-demographic questionnaire, Mississippi scale for combat related PTSD questionnaire, and 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale questionnaire) were administered by investigators.', 'The results suggest that alexithymia was significantly associated with attempted suicide (P=0.020). Furthermore, alexithymia remained a significant predictor of an attempted suicide even in the multivariate regression model, which yielded an odds ratio (OR) of 2.87 (95% confidence intervals 1.18-7.00).'] Do could alexithymia predict suicide attempts - a study of Croatian war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder?
