Abstract

This is an epidemiological study on Self-Inflicted Suicide and Lesions (E950 to E959) that we do not know if they are accidentally or intentionally inflicted (E980 to E989) among adolescents attended in a Psychiatric Ward at an Emergency Service in Ribeirão Preto, S.P., Brazil, from 1988 to 1991. The diagnoses were grouped according to CID-9. Data were obtained from the Hospital Statistics Service. The feminine sex predominated in the 4 years and in both diagnoses. It was observed that the occurrence of E950 to E959 increased during the period, while the occurrence of E980 to E989 decreased among the adolescents.
