N2  - Single suicide attempters (SSAs) and multiple suicide attempters (MSAs) represent distinct subgroups of individuals with specific risk factors and clinical  characteristics. This retrospective study on a sample of 397 adult psychiatric  inpatients analyzed the main sociodemographic and clinical differences between SSAs  and MSAs and the possible differences between SSAs, MSAs, and psychiatric patients  with and without suicidal ideation (SI). Clinical variables collected included  psychiatric diagnoses (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview), presence of  substance use, current suicide risk status (Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale),  Clinical Global Impression at admission, Global Assessment of Functioning  improvement between admission and discharge, age at onset of psychiatric illness,  duration of untreated illness in years, number of hospitalizations in psychiatric  settings, and lethality of the most severe suicide attempt. A multinomial logistic  regression model with groups showed that MSAs had a higher lethality of their last  suicide attempt as compared to SSAs. In addition, MSAs had distinct sociodemographic  characteristics compared to both SSAs and patients with SI. Although the study was  limited by the relatively small sample size and retrospective nature, the present  results suggest that identifying MSAs could be useful in predicting suicide risk and  designing ad hoc prevention strategies.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
