Abstract

The purpose of this study compared the clinical features of suicidal attempters who visit in the past and present of an emergency medical center, used as a basic data for clinical severity and suicide prevention research of future patients. The author conducted a retrospective analysis of the changed characteristics of suicidal attempters who visit an emergency medical center of Wonkwang University Hospital between from January $1^{st}$, 1998 to December $31^{th}$, 1998 and from August $1^{st}$, 2013 to July $31^{th}$, 2015. Factors related to increased occurrence was changed from male(1.1:1) in 1998 to female(1.3:1) in 2013-2015, from age of $2^{nd}$, $3^{rd}$, and above $6^{th}$ decade in 1998 to $3^{rd}-5^{th}$ decade in 2013-2015. Poisoning was the most common method of suicidal attempt(90.8%;1998, 72.7%;2013-2015), Mortality rate was changed from 16.9%(male 23.1%, female 10.0%) in 1998 to 13.8%(male 18.1%, female 10.5%) in 2013-2015. Among the suicidal attempters(total=516), 37 patients has recurred. But consultant of neuropsychiatric department was 48.3%, All suicidal attempters in future were necessarily neuropsychiatric consultant and continuously follow-up because all patients had recurrent suicide attempt, psychologic disorder, suicide rates are higher than in the general population.

본 연구는 과거와 현재의 응급의료센터에 내원한 자살기도자들의 임상적 특징을 비교하여, 향후 환자 발생시 임상적인 중증도 예측과 자살예방 연구의 토대로 활용하기 위함이다. 저자는 1998년 1월부터 12월과 2013년 8월부터 2015년 7월에 원광대학교병원 응급의료센터에 내원한 자살기도자들의 임상적 특징의 변화를 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 발생률에서는 1998년도에는 남성(1.1:1)이 더 많았으나 2013-2015년도에는 여성(1.3:1)이 더 많았고, 1998년도에는 20대, 30대, 60대 이상에서 많았던 반면에 2013-2015년도에는 30-50대에 많았다. 자살 시도 방법에서 가장 많았던 것은 중독이었다(90.8%;1998, 72.7%;2013-2015). 자살기도로 인한 사망률은 1998년에 16.9%(남성 23.1%, 여성 10.0%)에서 2013-2015년에는 13.8%(남성 18.1%, 여성 10.5%)로 감소하였다. 전체 자살기도자(총 516명) 중 재발한 환자는 37명이었으며, 자살기도자 중 48.3%는 정신건강의학과에 협진을 의뢰하였으나, 재발한 환자 전수에서 정신질환을 가지고 있었고, 정신질환자가 일반인에 비해 자살률이 높기 때문에 앞으로 발생하는 모든 자살기도자는 정신건강의학과와의 협진과 지속적인 추적관찰이 필요하겠다.
