Abstract

Introduction: Suicide attempts by overdose drug intake are important public health problems in adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients with suicide attempts. Methods: Adolescents, who were admitted to our pediatric emergency department with suicide attempt between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The median age of 784 patients included in the study was 190 months and 662 (84.4%) of them were female. It was determined that 429 (54.7%) of the cases were taking multiple drugs. Analgesic drug intake (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and paracetamol) was the most common (47.1%), antidepressant (22.6%) and common cold drugs (18.0%) were second and third respectively. One hundred-three (13.1%) of the cases were in early adolescence (9-13 years), 533 (68.0%) were in middle adolescence (14-16 years), 148 of them were in late adolescence (17-19 years). Of our patients, 201 (25.6%) had pediatric psychiatry follow-up and 154 (19.6%) were taking regular medication. It was determined that 185 (23.6%) of the cases had two or more suicides attempts. The most common symptoms were detected as gastrointestinal (60.3%) and neurological (42.6%) symptoms. Seven hundred-forty two (94.6%) of the cases were hospitalized [380 (51.2%) in emergency observation, 188 (25.3%) in intensive care unit, 174 (23.5%) in pediatric ward]. It was found that 3 (0.4%) patients who died were female and it was their first suicide attempts and they were taking single drug (amphetamine, antidepressant and angiotensin-II antagonist). Conclusion: Suicidal drug intoxications are more common in middle adolescence and girls. Multiple drugs and especially accessible nonprescription drugs are poisoning agents. Multidisciplinary follow-up is important for the risk of recurrence of suicide attempts.

Özet

Giriş: Ergen yaş grubunda ilaçların fazla doz alımı ile özkıyım girişimleri önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı özkıyım girişimi olan olguların demografik ve klinik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Hastanemiz çocuk acil servisine özkıyım girişimi ile 1 Ocak 2014-31 Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında başvurmuş olan ergen olgular geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 784 olgunun ortanca yaşı 190 ay olup, 662’si (%84,4) kız cinsiyette idi. Olguların 429’unun (%54,7) çoğul ilaç aldığı belirlendi. İlaçlardan analjezik ilaç alımı (non-steroid anti-enflamatuvar ve parasetamol) ilaç alımı ilk sırada (%47,1), antidepresan (%22,6) ve soğuk algınlığı (%18,0) ilaç alımı ikinci ve üçüncü sırada yer almaktaydı. Olguların 103’ü (%13,1) erken (9-13 yaş), 533’ü (%68,0) orta (14-16 yaş), 148’i geç (17-19 yaş) ergenlik dönemindeydi. Olgularımızdan 201’inin (%25,6) çocuk psikiyatri takibi vardı ve 154’ünün (%19,6) düzenli ilaç kullandığı saptandı. Olguların 185’inin (%23,6) daha önce iki veya daha fazla özkıyım girişiminde bulunduğu belirlendi. En sık gastrointestinal (%60,3) ve nörolojik (%42,6) sistem semptomlarının olduğu saptandı. Hastaların 742’si (%94,6) yatırılarak izlendi [380’i (%51,2) acil gözlemde, 188’i (%25,3) yoğun bakımda, 174’ü (%23,5) çocuk servisinde]. Kaybedilen 3 (%0,4) olgunun kız cinsiyette olduğu, ilk özkıyım girişimleri olduğu ve tekli ilaç (amfetamin, antidepresan ve anjiotensin-II antagonisti) aldıkları belirlendi. Sonuç: Özkıyım amaçlı ilaç zehirlenmeleri orta ergenlik döneminde ve kızlarda daha sık görülmektedir. Birden fazla ilaç ve özellikle reçetesiz ulaşılabilen ilaçlar zehirlenme etkeni olmaktadır. Özkıyım girişimi olan olguların tekrarlama riski açısından multidisipliner izlemi önemlidir.
