Our aim was to investigate whether a large number of hospital visits by children and adolescents because of injuries are associated with psychiatric treatments and subsequent suicides. We examined the case records of 250 randomly chosen patients, 156 (62%) boys and 94 (38%) girls, out of 2306 outpatients who were 0-16 years old and had been treated because of traumatic injuries in Oulu University Hospital in 1984 and were alive in 1997. Boys with seven or more accidents had had psychiatric treatments more commonly than did boys with fewer accidents (39% vs. 8%). In addition, the case records of the patients who had died before the end of 1997 out of the 2306 patients were examined. Twenty-one (0.9%) patients (20 males and one female) had died, and seven (0.3%) of them had committed suicide. The traumatically injured male patients had a twofold suicide rate compared to the national average. The researchers also re-coded the causes of death from the death certificates. There seems to be a tendency to interpret adolescent suicides as accidental, as one of the seven registered suicides (14%), but six of the seven re-coded suicides (86%) had occurred before the age of 20.
