Fifty-five cases of suicide by doctors under the age of 40 were studied because of concern about deaths among anaesthetists in training. The excess mortality of doctors from suicide was confirmed, suggesting that risk factors associated with being a member of the medical profession continue to operate, although mortality for young male doctors from accidental poisoning is falling. Analysis of the branches of medicine in which the doctors were working showed no definite specialty predominance. There was a somewhat greater risk for women doctors born overseas.
鉴于对实习麻醉医生死亡情况的关注，对55例40岁以下医生自杀案例进行了研究。医生自杀导致的超额死亡率得到了证实，这表明与医学职业相关的风险因素仍在起作用，尽管年轻男性医生因意外中毒导致的死亡率正在下降。对医生所从事医学分支的分析显示，没有明确的专业主导性。出生在海外的女医生自杀风险略高。
