Mortality risk following self-harm in young people: a population cohort study using the Northern Ireland Registry of Self-Harm
Based on data from the Northern Ireland Registry of Self-Harm, around 0.8% of young people presenting to hospital following self-harm ended up dying by suicide and 23% of those who died by suicide had presented to hospital following self-harm. Important data to highlight known difficulties with risk prediction, yet confirm the opportunities for suicide prevention in hospital settings.
