This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents statistics on ED visits related to suicidal ideation or suicide attempt among individuals aged 5 years and older. The Brief uses the HCUP Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) to examine 2008–2017 trends in the population rate of ED visits related to suicidal ideation or suicide attempt by age group. The 2017 NEDS is used to provide data on patient characteristics and outcomes. In addition, maps based on the 2017 State Inpatient Databases (SID) and 2017 State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD) present State-level rates of ED visits related to suicidal ideation or suicide attempt. Maps are also presented that illustrate the variation in the highest rates within the State by patient location (i.e., counties in large metropolitan, small/medium metropolitan, or rural areas). Because of the large sample size of the HCUP data, small differences can be statistically significant. Thus, only differences greater than or equal to 10 percent are discussed in the text.
这份医疗成本与利用项目（HCUP）统计简报展示了5岁及以上人群中与自杀意念或自杀未遂相关的急诊就诊统计数据。该简报利用HCUP全国急诊科样本（NEDS）来研究2008 - 2017年按年龄组划分的与自杀意念或自杀未遂相关的急诊就诊人口比率趋势。2017年的NEDS用于提供患者特征和结局的数据。此外，基于2017年州住院数据库（SID）和2017年州急诊科数据库（SEDD）绘制的地图展示了与自杀意念或自杀未遂相关的急诊就诊的州级比率。还展示了一些地图，这些地图说明了按患者所在位置（即大都市、中小都市或农村地区的县）划分的该州最高比率的差异情况。由于HCUP数据样本量很大，微小差异在统计上也可能具有显著性。因此，文本中仅讨论大于或等于10%的差异。
