Identification of risk factors for attempted suicide by self-poisoning and a nomogram to predict self-poisoning suicide

Abstract

This study proposes a prediction model to stratify patients at a high risk of suicide by self-poisoning and to guide individual preventive strategies. Patients in the high-risk group require further mental health counseling to alleviate anxiety and hopelessness, healthy lifestyle like quitting smoking and exercising more, and restriction of access to poison and psychiatric drugs.
