A retrospective, descriptive study of 294 suicide attempters evaluated by a general hospital's psychiatric service was completed by chart review. The 1980 sample differed from prior studies of this setting. Seventy-one percent of attempters had a prior psychiatric history, 31 percent were psychotic, and 25 percent had a diagnosis of substance abuse (combining alcohol and drug abuse). Overdose remained the predominant method of attempt, with a significant increase (P < .001) in the use of psychoactive medication. The ratio of the rates of male to female suicide attempters had increased to .8191. The crude suicide attempt rate for the New Haven Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) had declined to 191.32/100,000.
通过病历回顾,对一家综合医院精神科评估的294名自杀未遂者进行了一项回顾性描述性研究。1980年的样本与此前该环境下的研究有所不同。71%的未遂者有精神病史,31%为精神病患者,25%被诊断为物质滥用(包括酒精和药物滥用)。过量用药仍是主要的自杀未遂方式,精神活性药物的使用显著增加(P < .001)。男性与女性自杀未遂者的比例已增至0.8191。纽黑文标准大都市统计区(SMSA)的粗自杀未遂率已降至191.32/10万。
