    Abstract Objective: The use of exclusion criteria in clinical trials can cause research participants to differ markedly from clinical populations, which negatively impacts generalizability of results. This study identifies and quantifies common and recurring exclusion criteria in clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction, and estimates their impact on eligibility among a clinical sample of adults in an emergency department with high suicide risk.
    Method: Recent trials were identified by searching PubMed (terms suicide, efficacy, effectiveness, limited to clinical trials in prior 5 years). Common exclusion criteria were identified using Qualitative Content Analysis. A retrospective chart review examined a one-month sample of all adults receiving psychiatric evaluation in a large urban academic emergency department.
    Results: The search yielded 27 unique clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction as a primary or secondary outcome. After research fundamentals (e.g. informed consent, language fluency), the most common exclusion criteria involved psychosis (77.8%), cognitive problems (66.7%), and substance use (63.0%). In the clinical sample of adults with high suicide risk (
    Conclusions: Recent clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction have low generalizability to emergency psychiatry patients with high suicide risk. Trials enrolling persons with psychosis and substance use in particular are needed to improve generalizability to this clinical population.

    Abstract Background: Differences often exist between people with depression who are eligible for clinical trials and those seen in clinical practice. The impact of exclusion criteria on eligibility has been previously reported for inpatients and outpatients, but has not been assessed for emergency psychiatry patients; a group that overlaps with inpatients and outpatients but also has important distinctives. Understanding the frequencies of commonly used exclusion criteria in this population could inform interpretation of existing data (generalizability) and highlight opportunities/needs for future trials.
    Methods: We reviewed 67 clinical trials studying depression using Qualitative Content Analysis to identify common and recurring exclusion criteria. We examined the frequency of these exclusion criteria among a clinical sample of emergency psychiatry patients.
    Results: Most clinical trials had exclusions for basic research requirements, age, symptom severity, psychosis, and substance use. Applying 9 commonly used exclusion criteria to the clinical population resulted in a 3.3 % eligibility rate (95 % CI 1.2 %-7.0 %). Exclusions for psychosis (85.1 % of trials), substance use (83.6 % of trials), and suicide risk (65.7 % of trials) would likely exclude 93 % of emergency psychiatry patients. The prevalence of psychosis, substance use, and suicide risk was much higher among emergency psychiatry patients than among previously studied populations.
    Limitations: Some eligibility criteria could not be measured. The Qualitative Content Analysis consolidated similar exclusion criteria, losing potentially important nuances in wordings.
    Conclusions: Exclusion criteria commonly used in contemporary clinical trials of depression limit generalizability to emergency psychiatry patients, due in large part to exclusions for psychosis, substance use, and suicide risk.
