Suicide as an Inflammatory Process: A CRP-based Case-control Study

Introduction:The number of suicide attempts and related deaths among adolescents is increasing every day. Although suicide presents a problem for the general population, it is a more serious problem for those with psychiatric diseases. Previous studies demonstrated the association between inflammati...

The study population consisted of patients who been admitted to the pediatric emergency department between 01.03.2016 and 01.03.2019 following a suicide attempt. Healthy volunteers of similar age and gender characteristics who had been admitted to the pediatric clinic for routine examination were also recruited.

No difference in terms of demographic data was noted between the groups. The serum CRP levels of the control and suicide groups were 1.5±1.5 and 12.7±6.4 mg/L, respectively (p<0.01). The mean serum CRP levels of cases with and without psychiatric disorders were 14.3±4.2 and 9.7±2.7 mg/L, respectively (p=0.03).Conclusion:Levels of CRP, a strong inflammatory marker, were higher in patients who had attempted suicide than in those who had not. CRP levels were also higher in patients with a psychiatric disease than in those without.Gamze GökalpEmel BerksoyŞefika BardakŞule DemirGülşah DemirMurat AnılGalenos YayineviarticlesuicideinflammationcrpMedicineRPediatricsRJ1-570Medical emergencies.
