Clinical aspects and follow up of suicide attempts treated in a general Intensive
Care Unit at Landspitali University Hospital in lceland 2000-2004.
Objective: To gather information on patients admitted to
an intensive care unit (ICU) after a serious suicide attempt
(SA).
Methods: Retrospective analysis and follow up of
admittances to ICUs of Landspitali University Hospital after
SA years 2000-2004.
Results: Admittances because of SA were 251 (4% of
ICU admissions, 61 % females, 39% males, mean age 36
yr ± 14). Ten percent were admitted more than once and
61 % had prior history of SA. Drug intoxication was the
most prevalent type of SA (91 %) and the most frequent
complication was pneumonia. Following ICU stay 36%
of the patients were admitted to psychiatric wards and
80% received psychiatric follow up. The main psychiatric
diagnosis was addiction (43%). Majority of patients were
divorced or single and the rate of unemployment was high.
Mortality during ICU stay was 3%. During 3-7 year follow
up 21 patients died (10 %), majority due to suicide. In a
survival analysis only the number of tablets taken, APACHE
II score and number of somatic diseases predicted risk of
death.
Conclusion: The patient group is young (36 yr), majority
are women (61 %), repeated attempts are frequent, social
circumstances are poor and death rate after discharge
from hospital is high (10%) even though the vast majority
(80%) receives psychiatric follow up.This raises the
question if the offered treatment is effective enough.
