Resumen

Este estudio investigó las diferencias en las características clínicas entre los pacientes que intentaron suicidarse derivados o no deriva-dos a consulta psiquiátrica después de un intento de suicidio y los factores que afectan a esta derivación a tratamiento post-hospitalario psiquiátrico después del intento. Se identified a los 1.198 pacientes consecutivos con intento de suicidio tratados en las salas de urgencias hos-pitalarias en Helsinki durante un periodo de 12 meses. Los datos se recogieron en todas las consultas psiquiátricas después de la tentativa y en todos los contactos sanitarios un año antes y después del intento índice. Encontramos que la mitad de los pacientes con intento de suicidio que no fueron derivados consulta psiquiátrica no tenía recomendación de tratamiento post-hospitalario y contacto de tratamiento pronto después de su tentativa. Los factores que predecían la derivación a la consulta psiquiátrica eran: edad, trastorno psicótico, ausencia de trastorno por uso de sustancias y, con más fuerza, el hospital donde se trató el intento de suicidio. Aunque las caractensticas de un pacien-te que intenta suicidarse desempefian un papel en determinar si una consulta psiquiátrica tendrá lugar o no, el factor más importante son las prácticas de consulta del hospital particular. Esto, a su vez, influye en la probabilidad de tratamiento post-hospitalario adecuado.
