Abstract
We studied prospectively all patients who attempted suicide by deliberate self poisoning and were admitted to the accident and emergency department of St Anna Hospital, Ferrara, Italy, from 1 January 1989 to 31 December 1991. This hospital alone deals with medical emergencies occuring in the city and suburban area of Ferrara (about 150 000 residents).Keywords
