Abstract Background Overdose-related suicide attempts represent a significant portion of self-harm presentations in the psychiatric emergency department (ED). Identifying specific patient characteristics associated with these holds promise for pinpointing drug classes elevated risk and paving way tailored prevention interventions. This study aims to examine demographic profiles ED patients who had experienced overdose-related attempts. Methods retrospective was conducted at Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2020 December 2021. Patients overdose presenting were included. Sociodemographic drugs involved collected, analysed descriptively. Results examined 252 patients, excluding 51 treated alcohol or nonpsychiatric drugs, total 201 cases The mean age 28 ± 16 years (median 23, range 12–78), 82% ( n = 165) sample females. Notably, nearly half (45%) aged ≤ 20 years. While number decreased increasing age, increase observed 2021 compared 2020.

ABSTRACT Introduction Suicide is one of the leading causes preventable death worldwide. Evidence reported in literature seems to support impact providing active contact for people that have attempted suicide. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aim investigate effects suicide prevention strategies implemented through remote synchronous technology-based interventions. Methods followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. searches were conducted PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, Web Science. Screening, selection process, data extraction, risk bias (RoB) assessment been performed independently by two reviewers. A narrative synthesis has performed. Data on adherence treatment suicide-related factors explain heterogeneity extracted. was determine effect sizes (Hedge’s g ) suicidal ideation, odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) lethal non-lethal behaviours. pooled using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses classifying studies according evaluation period. Results total 26 publications finally included. Synchronous remote-based interventions effective preventing repeated attempts (OR = 0.75; CI 0.62 – 0.90) deaths (Peto OR 0.37; 0.18 0.77); however, considerable reported. ideation not confirmed 0.23; −1.54 1.07). Conclusions observed suggests should be considered under caution. Methodological procedural guidelines are proposed improve quality future research studies.
