| description |
In the last decades there has been an increase in morbimortality due to suicidal behavior in children-adolescents and a worsening of the psychopathological disorders associated with them have been observed. The female gender has been related more to suicide attempts and the male gender to completed suicide. Objective: to characterize epidemiologically the children/adolescents hospitalized for suicidal behaviors in the period 2009-2019 at the Hospital de Niños of Córdoba, identifying psychopathological disorders.
Observational, retrospective study based on clinical records of children/adolescents hospitalized for suicidal behaviors in the period 2009-2019 at the Hospital de Niños of Córdoba. Sociodemographic (age, gender, origin, cohabitation group) and psychopathological variables were used. Data was processed by frequency analysis and chi-square test.
353 hospitalizations for suicidal behavior were recorded. 78% were female and 22% male. Their ages were between 6 and 16 years with a mean for females of 13.35 ±1.03 and for males of 12.18 ±2.23(p<0.001). 68.2% came from the city of Cordoba, 30.8% from the rest of the Province of Cordoba, and 1% other. The household group was single-parent family in 42.2%, nuclear in 31.3% and shelter in 3%. 45.9% were receiving psychotherapeutic treatment at the time of hospitalization. The most frequently diagnosed psychopathologies in the female gender were: personality problems 31.6% and neurotic and reactive disorders 26.5%; and in the male gender conduct disorders 39.5% and mood disorders 18.4% (p<0.0001). At discharge all received psychotherapeutic treatment and 56.4% required psychopharmacological treatment. The mean length of hospitalization was 14.26 days, with a minimum of 1 day and maximum of 120 days.
Most of the children-adolescents with suicidal behavior were not receiving treatment at the time of hospitalization and the most frequently detected pathologies were those of the impulsive-aggressive spectrum, showing psychopathological differences by gender. More timely prevention measures are required for these health problems.

En las últimas décadas se observa un incremento en la morbimortalidad por comportamientos suicidas en niños-adolescentes y un agravamiento de los trastornos psicopatológicos que se asocian a estos. El género femenino se ha relacionado más con los intentos de suicidio y el género masculino con el suicidio consumado. Objetivo: caracterizar epidemiológicamente a los niños/adolescentes hospitalizados por comportamientos suicidas en el período 2009-2019 en el Hospital de Niños de Córdoba identificando los trastornos psicopatológicos. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo en base a los registros clínicos de niños/adolescentes hospitalizados por comportamientos suicidas en el periodo 2009-2019 en el Hospital de Niños de Córdoba. Se utilizaron variables sociodemográficas (edad, género, procedencia, grupo de convivencia) y psicopatológicas. Los datos se procesaron por análisis de frecuencias y test de chi cuadrado. Se registraron 353 hospitalizaciones por comportamientos suicidas. El 78% femenino y el 22% masculino. Sus edades estaban entre los 6 y 16 años con una media femenina de 13,35 ±1,03 y masculina de 12,18 ±2,23 (p<0,001). El 68,2% procedía de Córdoba-Capital, el 30,8% del interior de Córdoba y 1% otro. El grupo de convivencia fue familia monoparental en el 42,2%, nuclear el 31,3% y el 3% hogarizado. El 45,9% estaba recibiendo tratamiento psicoterapéutico en el momento de internación. El 69,9 % ingresaron por un intento de suicidio y el 30,1 % por otros comportamientos (como ideación suicida, autoagresiones). Los trastornos psicopatológicos diagnosticados con mayor frecuencia en el género femenino fueron los trastornos de personalidad 31,6% y trastornos neuróticos y reactivos 26,5% y en el género masculino los trastornos de conducta 39,5% y trastornos del ánimo 18,4% (p<0,0001). Al egreso todos recibieron tratamiento psicoterapéutico y el 56,4% requirió tratamiento psicofarmacológico. La media de hospitalización fue de 14,26 días, mínima 1 día y máxima 120 días. Gran parte de los niños-adolescentes con comportamientos suicidas no recibían tratamiento en el momento de la internación y las patologías detectadas con mayor frecuencia fueron las del espectro impulsivo-agresivo mostrando diferencias psicopatológicas por género. Se requieren medidas de prevención más oportunas para estos problemas de salud. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
