From the few publications available in literature it is evident that suicide risk in psychiatric patients is considerably higher after their discharge from hospital than during inpatient treatment. The present study covers 21 recorded suicides of patients in a hospital outpatient ward for preliminary care and aftercare of psychiatric diseases. This figure represents 0.8% of all treated patients and corresponds to a suicide rate of 600 per 100.000 treatment episodes. At the time of suicide, 13 of these patients were still in outpatient treatment and 3 in the clinic. The others had been transferred or had discontinued treatment. Almost two-thirds suffered from psychoses belonging to the schizophrenic disease pattern. Contrary to what has been reported in literature, most of the suicides (almost two-thirds) occurred more than twelve months after their last hospital discharge.
从文献中现有的少量出版物可以明显看出，精神科患者出院后的自杀风险比住院治疗期间要高得多。本研究涵盖了一家医院精神疾病初步护理和后续护理门诊病房中21例有记录的患者自杀事件。这一数字占所有接受治疗患者的0.8%，相当于每100,000次治疗疗程中有600例自杀率。自杀发生时，这些患者中有13人仍在门诊治疗，3人在诊所。其他人已被转诊或停止治疗。近三分之二的患者患有属于精神分裂症疾病模式的精神病。与文献报道的情况相反，大多数自杀事件（近三分之二）发生在他们最后一次出院后的十二个月以上。
