To compare suicide rates of people in prison and the general population in the Nordic countries.
Data on deaths by suicide and person-years for people in prison and the general population were obtained for the Nordic countries during 2000-2016. Age-standardized rate ratios were calculated.
The suicide rate in the Nordic countries overall was 110.1 (95% CI = 98.1, 122.2) per 100,000 person-years for people in prison. A significant decline was noted for the suicide rate of people in prison between 2000 and 2016 (< 0.0001). The age-standardized mortality ratio was 7.4 (95% CI = 5.9-8.2) for males and 17.8 (95% CI = 7.3-33.2) for females in Denmark, Iceland, and Norway.
Despite a decreasing trend over time, excess suicide mortality was noted for people in prison.
比较北欧国家监狱内囚犯和普通人群的自杀率。
获取了 2000 年至 2016 年期间北欧国家监狱内囚犯和普通人群的自杀死亡人数和人年数据。计算了年龄标准化率比。
北欧国家监狱内囚犯的自杀率为每 100,000 人年 110.1(95%CI=98.1,122.2)。2000 年至 2016 年期间,监狱内囚犯的自杀率呈显著下降趋势(<0.0001)。丹麦、冰岛和挪威男性的年龄标准化死亡率比为 7.4(95%CI=5.9-8.2),女性为 17.8(95%CI=7.3-33.2)。
尽管随着时间的推移呈下降趋势,但监狱内囚犯的自杀死亡率仍然偏高。
