Recurrence and mortality 1 year after hospital admission for non-fatal self-harm: a nationwide population-based study.

CONCLUSIONS: Non-fatal DSH represent frequent events with a significant risk of short-term recurrence and death from various causes. The first 6 months following hospital discharge appear to be a critical period. Specific short-term aftercare programs targeting all people with a DSH episode have to be developed, along other suicide prevention strategies. PMID: 30773154 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
