Potentially suicidal psychiatric patients should be better recognized and an immediate follow-up arranged if it is decided they be discharged.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-244x-5-32","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,26]],"date-time":"2005-08-26T06:17:05Z","timestamp":1125037025000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["The characteristics of suicides within a week of discharge after psychiatric hospitalisation \u2013 a nationwide register study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Sami","family":"Pirkola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Britta","family":"Sohlman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristian","family":"Wahlbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"114_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(99)06376-X","volume":"355","author":"PB Mortensen","year":"2000","unstructured":"Mortensen PB, Agerbo E, Erikson T, Qin P, Westergaard-Nielsen N: Psychiatric illness and risk factors for suicide in Denmark.
