Suicide attempts requiring hospitalization in patients with eating disorders: A retrospective cohort study.

Author
Abstract
:

Suicide attempts requiring hospitalization are known to be common in patients who are diagnosed with eating disorders. Attempting suicide is a major indicator for those at risk of completed suicide. Both the specific eating disorder diagnosis and the influence of psychiatric comorbidities on suicide attempts requiring hospitalization were investigated, with demographic and socioeconomic variables as confounders, over a 10-year observation period from January 2007 to March 2017.
