A study found gaps in the high-risk period after discharge from a hospital stay for mental health issues.
A study found that patients who die by suicide within a year after discharge from inpatient mental health care are less likely to have primary care consultation in the first 2 weeks, highlighting a gap during the high-risk transition period.Researchers used a nested case-control study design, analyzing the records of 613 people who died by suicide within a year of being discharged from an inpatient psychiatric facility in England between 2001 and 2019.
Approximately 40% of people who died within 2 weeks of discharge had a documented visit with a primary care clinician during that period.The study was led by Rebecca Musgrove, PhD, of the Centre for Mental Health and Safety at The University of Manchester in Manchester, England, and publishedThe study's reliance on individuals registered with the Clinical Practice Research Datalink may have caused some suicide cases to be excluded, limiting generalizability.
