N2  - 56 of 287 persons committing suicide between 1992 and 1995 in the region of the city of Basel were identified to have been inpatients in the region in psychiatric hospitals between 1986 and 1995. Fifty of these committed suicide after discharge from hospital - eight times as many as during their time as inpatients. A quarter of these patients killed themselves within the first four weeks after discharge.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
