“…A population‐based case‐control study found that the number of visits of suicide attempters to emergency departments was associated with future risk of suicide 17 . Indeed, suicide attempters were nearly 12 times more likely to report ongoing suicidal ideation in the emergency department than nonattempters 18 . Predicting risk factors for reattempts of suicide among attempters presenting at emergency departments is therefore critical.…”

Aim Risk factors for attempted suicide have been widely studied. However, there is limited evidence on predictive factors for suicide reattempts. We aimed to identify these in suicide attempters admitted to emergency departments. Methods This is the second analysis from a randomized controlled multicenter trial, ACTION‐J. Patient characteristics were extracted from baseline demographic data and clinical data of participants. Predictive factors for a recurrent suicide attempt in each gender were examined using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Dependent variables were months from trial entry to the first reattempt. Independent variables were characteristics regarded as potential predictive factors. Results The study included 914 adults (400 men and 514 women). A visit to a psychiatrist within a month of the suicide attempt was significantly associated with reattempts in men (hazard ratio [HR] 2.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21–5.25). Substance‐related disorders (HR 3.65, 95% CI 1.16–7.9.60), drinking alcohol less than once per month (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.17–0.88), previous suicide attempts (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.40–3.87), and taking a drug overdose for the first suicide attempt (HR 1.82, 95% CI 1.14–3.01) were significantly associated with reattempts in women. Conclusion Our data highlight the importance of visits to a psychiatrist a short time before the first suicide attempt in men and substance‐related disorder, previous suicide attempts, and drug overdose in the first suicide attempt in women as predictive factors for future suicide reattempts.

“…Emergency physicians come across a myriad of medical afflictions resulting from suicide attempts [ 1 , 2 ]. According to the 2019 WHO report, the age-standardized suicide rate in India is 1.25 per million population, against the global average of 0.9 per million population [ 3 ]. However, it is expected to witness an increase after the decriminalization of suicide in India has addressed under-reporting.…”

Background and objectiveEmergency physicians come across a myriad of medical afflictions resulting from suicide attempts. The Indian contribution to global suicide deaths is alarming; the social construct of India is unique, and so are the problems and challenges. This study aims to describe the social background, demographic parameters and correlate the clinical profile and outcomes of all patients presenting with an attempted or completed suicide.
