- To assess whether CC is more effective at reducing suicidal ideation in people with depression compared with usual care, and whether study and patient factors moderate treatment effects. Method: We searched Medline, Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CENTRAL from inception to March 2020 for Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) that compared the effectiveness of CC with usual care in depressed adults, and reported changes in suicidal ideation at 4 to 6 months post-randomisation. Mixed-effects models accounted for clustering of participants within trials and heterogeneity across trials. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42020201747. Results: We extracted data from 28 RCTs (11,165 patients) of 83 eligible studies. We observed a small significant clinical improvement of CC on suicidal ideation, compared with usual care (SMD, 0.11 [95%CI, 0.15 to 0.08]; I-2, 0.47% [95%CI 0.04% to 4.90%]). CC interventions with a recognised psychological treatment were associated with small reductions in suicidal ideation (SMD, 0.15 [95%CI -0.19 to 0.11]). CC was more effective for reducing suicidal ideation among patients aged over 65 years (SMD, 0.18 [95%CI -0.25 to 0.11]). Conclusion: Primary care based CC with an embedded psychological intervention is the most effective CC framework for reducing suicidal ideation and older patients may benefit the most.

- <i>Objective:</i> To evaluate the age, gender and education distribution of both cognitive impairment and dementia in the whole old age range of the elderly (from 61 years of age and over). <i>Subjects and Methods:</i> The study population consisted of all subjects born in 1930 or before, living in the municipality of Faenza and Granarolo, Italy (n = 7,930). A two-phase study design was implemented, by using the Mini-Mental State Examination and Global Deterioration Scale as screening instruments. The DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria were used for the clinical diagnosis of dementia. A subject was classified as affected by cognitive impairment, no dementia (CIND) if he/she scored 2 or more standard deviations lower than the corrected mean MMSE score. <i>Results:</i> The prevalences of dementia and CIND were 6.5 per 100 (95% CI 5.9–7.0) and 5.1 per 100 (95% CI 4.6–5.6), respectively. The prevalence of CIND was higher than that of dementia in the youngest old groups (61–74 years), both in men and women, whereas the opposite pattern was present among the older old (75+). In the older age groups, dementia prevalence increased exponentially with age, while CIND prevalence was more stable. There was not a substantial gender difference in CIND prevalence in all ages. Only in the subpopulation of higher educated subjects, women had a higher prevalence of both dementia and CIND than men. Lower educated subjects had a higher prevalence of both dementia and CIND. When compared to higher educated persons, subjects without any schooling had odds ratios of 10.9 (CI 7.0–16.7) and 16.7 (CI 11.2–25.0) for dementia and CIND, respectively. <i>Conclusions:</i> Cognitive impairment is very common in the younger old ages (under 70 years of age), whereas dementia becomes predominant after 75 years of age. Both conditions are strongly related to the educational level.
