@entity1 @entity204 @entity161 @entity716
BACKGROUND: @entity1 with @entity161 have an increased risk of suicide and attempted suicide is suggested to be an important risk factor. AIM: Our objective was to assess the cumulative survival, predictive values and odds ratios of attempted suicide for suicide in a long-term cohort of @entity1 with @entity161 spectrum @entity716 with and without previous attempted suicide. METHOD: Inpatients (n=224) hospitalized with @entity161 spectrum @entity716 were followed for a mean of 25 years. All @entity1 were followed up for causes of @entity204 . Information on suicide attempt before the end of the observation period was retrieved from medical records. RESULTS: Eight percent died by suicide during the follow-up. Eighteen percent of suicide attempters died by suicide. Two percent of non-attempters died by suicide. There was a strong association between previous suicide attempt and suicide in @entity1 and @entity1 . Odds ratio for attempters vs. non-attempters was 10. Suicide risk was almost three times higher in male than female suicide attempters. CONCLUSION: Previous attempted suicide is an important risk factor for suicide in both @entity1 and @entity1 with @entity161 spectrum @entity716 , particularly in male suicide attempters. The suicide risk remains high over a long period. Continuous assessment of risk factors and appropriate treatment are crucial for this @entity1 group to prevent suicide.
