| description | The aim of this study was to determine whether demographic risk markers sex and age differentially characterize suicide attempt from other psychological consultations in emergencies. Case records assisted due to psychological consultations in the Emergency Service of the main polyvalent hospital of Jujuy during a four-year period were analyzed. The results suggest that sex is not a differential - demographic risk marker in patients assisted by suicide attempt. On the other hand, irrespective of sex, the age as demographic risk marker differentially characterizes patients assisted by suicide attempt from those who are assisted by other psychological consultations in emergencies. The 15-24 age range differentially characterizes consultants by suicide attempt both female and male. Further studies are needed to determine characteristics of suicidal risk that are typical of local casuistry. |

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si los marcadores demográficos de riesgo sexo y edad caracterizan diferencialmente a intento de suicidio respecto de otros motivos de consulta psicológica en urgencias. Se analizaron los registros de casos asistidos psicológicamente por consultas referidas a urgencias en salud mental en el Servicio de Guardia del principal hospital polivalente de Jujuy, durante un cuatrienio. Los resultados sugieren que el sexo no es un marcador de riesgo diferencial - demográfico en pacientes asistidos por intento de suicidio. En cambio, con independencia del sexo, la edad como marcador demográfico de riesgo caracteriza diferencialmente a pacientes asistidos por intento de suicidio respecto de los que son asistidos por otros motivos de consulta psicológica en urgencias. La franja etaria 15-24 años caracteriza diferencialmente a los consultantes por intento suicida tanto femeninos como masculinos. Son necesarios más estudios para determinar características del riesgo suicida típicas de la casuística local.
