PARICIO CASTILLO, Yeison; BLANDON RODRIGUEZ, Ana María y CHAVES TORRES, Ninfa-Marlen. High Prevalence of Two or More Suicide Attempts Associated with Suicidal Ideation and Mental Disease in Colombia 2016. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.2, pp.96-101. Epub 16-Jun-2020. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2018.07.001.
Introduction:
Suicidal ideation and attempts are strongly predictive of suicide deaths. Furthermore, suicide attempts exert a financial burden of millions of dollars on society.
Objective:
To establish the factors associated with more than one suicide attempt in the Colombian population that was reported in 2016.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study of 18,763 reports entered in the database of the National Public Health Surveillance of the National Institute of Health of Colombia during 2016 was performed.
Results:
11,738 (62.6%) of the total number of reports were female, the mean age was 25.0 (95% CI, 24.9-25.2) years, 46% of all cases were individuals between 10- and 20-years-old; 5,734 (30.6%) reported 2 or more suicide attempts and the prevalence of a mental disorder and persistent suicidal ideation were 48.5% and 16.4%, respectively. The factor most strongly associated with more than one suicide attempt, after adjusting for logistic regression, was persistent suicide ideation with crude OR = 5.5 (95% CI, 5.0-5.9), and ORa = 4.0 (95% CI, 3.6-4.3).
Conclusions:
Patients with persistent suicidal ideation were 4 times more likely to have 2 or more suicide attempts. Other factors such as the use of a sharp weapon as a mechanism to perform the attempt and the history of bipolar affective disorder and/or depression were also associated with more than one suicide attempt.
