Parasuicide in central London 1984-1988

GN Fuller, AJ Rea, JF Payne and AF Lant
Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, St Stephen's Hospital, London.

Experience of a central London unit dedicated to the care of patients following parasuicide between 1984 and 1988 is reviewed. There were 1160 admissions, which accounted for 11% of all acute adult medical admissions. The female to male ratio was 1.3, with a peak rate for females below 25 years and for males between 20 and 35. Unemployment was found to be a risk factor for parasuicide in men. Benzodiazepines were the most frequently used drug in parasuicide (35%), followed by paracetamol (13%) and aspirin (9%).
