Die AS-Rate stieg im Untersuchungszeitraum von 0,1\u00a0auf 1,3\u00a0Sterbef\u00e4lle pro 100.000 Einwohner. 2023 machten AS fast jeden zehnten Suizid in Bayern und 0,1\u202f% aller Sterbef\u00e4lle aus. Fast zwei Drittel der AS-F\u00e4lle waren weiblich. Etwa die H\u00e4lfte war zwischen 65\u00a0und 84\u00a0Jahren alt. Fast ein Drittel litt an neurodegenerativen, etwa ein Viertel an Krebserkrankungen. Bei 7\u202f% der F\u00e4lle wurden psychische Erkrankungen dokumentiert, davon je ein Drittel mit Demenz oder affektiven St\u00f6rungen. AS bei neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen wiesen ein niedriges mittleres Sterbealter von 70,9 Jahren auf. Am h\u00e4ufigsten wurde mit 88,6\u202f% Thiopental verwendet, seltener Chloroquin, Propofol oder Phenobarbital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Diskussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Die AS-Zahlen in Bayern steigen kontinuierlich und machen mittlerweile 0,1\u202f% aller Sterbef\u00e4lle aus, was die gesamtgesellschaftliche Relevanz des Themas unterstreicht. Insbesondere f\u00fcr Patienten mit neurodegenerativen und Krebserkrankungen scheint AS von Bedeutung zu sein, weshalb die Suizidpr\u00e4vention diese vulnerablen Gruppen st\u00e4rker in den Fokus nehmen sollte.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00103-025-04171-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]],"date-time":"2025-12-15T16:50:49Z","timestamp":1765817449000},"page":"267-274","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Assistierte Suizide in Bayern 2020 bis 2023\u00a0\u2013 Erste Ergebnisse aus der multikausalen Todesursachenstatistik","Assisted suicides in Bavaria from 2020 to 2023\u2014the first results from the multiple cause of death statistics"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Buschner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabine","family":"Gleich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benno","family":"Sch\u00e4ffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"4171_CR1","unstructured":"Bundesverfassungsgericht (2020) Urteil des Zweiten Senats vom 26.\u00a0Februar 2020 \u2013 2\u00a0BvR 2347\/15. https:\/\/www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de\/SharedDocs\/Entscheidungen\/DE\/2020\/02\/rs20200226_2bvr234715.html.
