S. Choi, S. Kim, et al.

This compelling study explores the alarming characteristics of inpatients who attempted self-harm in South Korea, shedding light on factors linked to mortality. The research indicating that older male patients facing comorbidities and financial issues are at a greater risk is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies. Conducted by Sulki Choi, Sangmi Kim, and Hyunsook Lee, this work emphasizes immediate attention to high-risk groups.

Abstract
This study investigated the characteristics of inpatients who attempted self-harm in South Korean hospitals, aiming to identify factors associated with mortality. Data from the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey (2007-2019) were analyzed. Results showed that older male inpatients with comorbidities and financial problems had higher self-harm and mortality rates. A high proportion of self-harm attempts occurred shortly after hospitalization. These findings highlight the need for preventative policies targeting high-risk patients.
