Toxicological Findings of Self-Poisoning Suicidal Deaths: A Systematic Review by Countries

Giuseppe Davide Albano et al.

Summary: The use of illicit and non-illicit substances in suicides is common, and toxicological data can help understand the mechanism behind deaths. This systematic review found significant differences in substance use between low-income and Western countries, with rural areas and Asian countries primarily using pesticides as poison, while illicit drugs and medically prescribed drugs being the leading cause of self-poisoning suicides in Western countries. Future research should focus on the correlation between social, medical, and demographic characteristics and autopsy findings to highlight risk factors and implement tailored prevention programs globally.

Cases with more serious outcomes have increased since 2000, while cases with less serious outcomes have decreased. Antidepressant exposures showed the fastest growth, and the top exposures in children under 5 years old were cosmetics/personal care products and household cleaning substances.
