Abstract
Hospital management of self-harm patients and risk of repetition: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Carroll, R.~~Metcalfe, C.~~Gunnell, D.
A systematic review to investigate whether between study differences in reported clinical management of self-harm patients were associated with the risk of repeat self-harm and suicide. There is little clear evidence to suggest routine aspects of self-harm patient care, including psychosocial assessment, reduce the risk of subsequent suicide and repeat self-harm.
