LOPEZ STEINMETZ, Lorena Cecilia. Caracterización de riesgo diferencial-demográfico en urgencias psicológicas: intento de suicidio y otros motivos de consulta. Rev Arg Cs Comp. [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-4206.

Differential-demographic risk characterization in psychological emergencies: suicide attempt and other psychological consultations. The aim of this study was to determine whether demographic risk markers sex and age differentially characterize suicide attempt from other psychological consultations in emergencies. Case records assisted due to psychological consultations in the Emergency Service of the main polyvalent hospital of Jujuy during a four-year period were analyzed. The results suggest that sex is not a differential - demographic risk marker in patients assisted by suicide attempt. On the other hand, irrespective of sex, the age as demographic risk marker differentially characterizes patients assisted by suicide attempt from those who are assisted by other psychological consultations in emergencies. The 15-24 age range differentially characterizes consultants by suicide attempt both female and male. Further studies are needed to determine characteristics of suicidal risk that are typical of local casuistry.
