Of 48 major physical illnesses that were associated with at least eight suicides in either country, there was high consistent suicide mortality (significant SMR &gt;3) in both countries for constipation (SMR = 4.1 in England, 7.5 in Wales), gastritis (4.4 and 4.9) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (3.4 and 4.5). There was high suicide mortality in one country for alcoholic liver disease, other liver disease and chronic pancreatitis; for epilepsy and Parkinson's disease; for diabetes, hypoglycaemia and hypo-osmolality &amp; hyponatraemia; and for pneumonia, back pain and urinary tract infections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291717001787_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is little or no increased suicide mortality following acute admissions for most physical illnesses. Much of the increased suicide mortality relates to gastrointestinal disorders that are often alcohol related or specific chronic conditions, which may be linked to side effects from certain therapeutic medications. Acute hospital admissions for physical illnesses may therefore provide an opportunity for targeted suicide prevention among people with certain conditions, particularly alcohol related disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291717001787","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,17]],"date-time":"2017-07-17T09:10:54Z","timestamp":1500282654000},"page":"578-591","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Suicide following acute admissions for physical illnesses across England and Wales"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"S.
