RESUMEN
This study explores familial psychiatric risk factors that are closely linked to suicide risk among patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) as measured by the Family History Assessment Module (FHAM). Data was derived from adults diagnosed with OUD (N = 389). To analyze the covariance between the 11 items of the FHAM, principal component analysis was applied to infer principal components (PC) scores. Log-binominal regression was conducted to quantify the associations between PC scores and mental health symptoms (e.g., lifetime suicidal attempt, P30D suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety). Analyses revealed that the first 3 three PCs could account for 56% of the total variance of the FHAM items within the data. Family history of substance misuse (PC1) was positively associated with lifetime suicide attempts and severe anxiety. Family history of serious mental illness (PC2) and of suicidal behavior (PC3) were not significantly associated with any outcomes. Our findings suggest current suicide risk is associated with an array of familial psychiatric issues among people with OUD. However, family history of suicide attempts and death by suicide has less bearing on current suicide risk in OUD patients whereas family history of substance use confers significant risk. Findings underscore suicide-related preventive interventions as necessary components of treatment plans among people with OUD, who commonly report family histories of substance misuse.

CONTEXT: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and its prevalence is increasing. AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which a history of infertility can present as risk factors for breast cancer. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This was a hospital-based case-control study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In this study, 1177 women with breast cancer were participated for assessing the risk for this cancer. The control was 1204 women with self-reported free-cancer history who were matched in terms of age and residence. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Using logistic regression, it was examined whether infertility is a risk factor of case-control status in addition to marriage age, menarche age, body mass index, number of pregnancies, family history of breast cancer, and previous oral contraceptive use. The data were considered significant at P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Infertility history was reported in 12.5% (n = 147) of the cases and 5.8% (n = 70) of the controls. Infertility history was a relevant risk for case-control study in addition to other risk factors (odds ratio: 2.43; 95% confidence interval, 3.34-1.77). CONCLUSIONS: This study found that infertility may be as the main risk factor for breast cancer in Iranian women, therefore, doing breast screening in women who have one or more risk factors, must receive more emphasis.
