Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To estimate the evolution of incidence of (attempted) suicide between 1993 and 2001 in Belgium and to examine trends in methods, first caretaker and aspects of seasonality.

METHODS

In 1993-1995 and 2000-2001, the national sentinel network of general practitioners registered, for each case of (attempted) suicide, age, sex, date, place of the event, first caretaker, method, and survival.

RESULTS

Between 1993-1995 and 2000-2001, the incidence of suicide increased among men from 29/ 100,000 to 35/ 100,000, and decreased among women from 14/ 100,000 to 11/ 100,000. The incidence of attempted suicide increased among men (from 67/ 100,000 to 71/ 100,000) and women (from 131/ 100,000 to 141/ 100,000). None of the above mentioned changes were statistically significant however. The use of violent methods as opposed to non-violent methods remained unchanged in women (OR: 0.95 [0.63-1.41]).

CONCLUSIONS

No statistically significant trends were observed in the incidence of suicide, the fraction of cases with fatal outcome and the use of violent methods.

摘要

目的

估计1993年至2001年比利时（未遂）自杀发生率的变化，并研究自杀方法、首位照顾者及季节性方面的趋势。

方法

在1993 - 1995年和2000 - 2001年期间，全国全科医生哨点网络针对每例（未遂）自杀病例，登记年龄、性别、日期、事件发生地点、首位照顾者、方法及存活情况。

结果

在1993 - 1995年至2000 - 2001年期间，男性自杀发生率从29/10万升至35/10万，女性自杀发生率从14/10万降至11/10万。男性未遂自杀发生率从67/10万升至71/10万，女性从131/10万升至141/10万。然而，上述变化均无统计学意义。女性使用暴力方法与非暴力方法的比例未变（比值比：0.95 [0.63 - 1.41]）。
