Abstract

The coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected on mental health and contributed to increased depression and anxiety. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide-related the emergency department (ED) visits. We compared the characteristics of suicide-related patients who visited the ED between the "COVID-19 period" and the "pre-COVID-19 period". The mean age of patients was younger after COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison by age group, the proportion of patients during the COVID-19 period increased in their teens and 20s, and the rest of the age groups decreased. The proportion of patients who requested help was higher during the COVID-19. The authenticity of suicide attempts showed a higher proportion of patients during the pre-COVID-19. Therefore, during the pandemic, attention should be paid to worsening mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression, rather than the lethality of suicide attempts.

冠状病毒病-2019大流行期间因自杀未遂到急诊室就诊的患者特征比较分析
2019冠状病毒感染(COVID-19)大流行影响了心理健康,并导致抑郁和焦虑加剧。我们评估了COVID-19大流行对急诊科(ED)自杀相关就诊的影响。我们比较了“COVID-19期间”和“COVID-19前时期”到急诊室就诊的自杀相关患者的特征。COVID-19大流行后患者的平均年龄更年轻。从各年龄组来看,新冠肺炎期间,青少年和20多岁的患者比例有所增加,其他年龄段的患者比例则有所下降。在新冠肺炎期间,寻求帮助的患者比例更高。自杀企图的真实性显示,在covid -19前,患者的比例更高。因此,在大流行期间,应关注日益恶化的心理健康问题,如焦虑或抑郁,而不是自杀企图的致命性。
