Nonfatal self-harm predicts suicide risk. Urgent emergency care and hospital admission after self-harm, particularly self-injury, increase suicide risk, informing aftercare policies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Nonfatal self-harm is a significant predictor of suicide.
  • Limited information exists on medical care for nonfatal self-harm preceding suicide.
  • Risk factors for suicide after nonfatal self-harm overlap with general suicide risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate hospital care patterns for nonfatal self-harm episodes.
  • To identify predictive characteristics associated with suicide risk after nonfatal self-harm.
  • To explore the relationship between medical interventions and subsequent suicide.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of individuals with nonfatal self-harm who died by suicide versus those who did not.
  • Utilized linked data from a self-harm monitoring project (2000-2007) and local suicide data.

  • Cross-linked self-harm episodes with subsequent suicide outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Suicide after nonfatal self-harm was more prevalent in males (OR=3.3).
    • Self-injury as a method of nonfatal self-harm increased suicide risk compared to self-poisoning (OR=2.0).
    • Urgent emergency department care (OR=2.7) and hospital admission (OR=2.0) were linked to higher suicide risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings can inform the development of assessment and aftercare policies for individuals who self-harm.
    • Understanding medical care during index episodes is crucial for suicide prevention.
    • Targeted interventions may be needed for high-risk groups identified through care patterns.
