본 연구는 응급의료센터에 약물중독으로 자살을 시도한 환자 중 생존군과 사망군을 분류하여 대상자의 내원 시 상태와 내원후 치료결과를 파악함으로써 향후 환자 발생시 임상적인 중증도 예측과 자살예방 연구에 기초자료로 활용하기 위함이다. 2009년 6월부터 2011년 5월까지 최근 2년간 광주광역시 C 대학병원 응급의료센터에 약물 중독으로 내원한 환자 중 비의도적인 사고 환자를 제외한 자살 환자만을 대상으로 하여, 의무기록으로 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 약물중독 자살환자에서 연령이 높고, 교육수준이 낮으며, 독거인 경우사망률이 높았고, 농약을 음독한 경우 예후가 좋지 않았다. 자살원인이 경제적문제와 우울증인 경우에 사망률이 높았고, 내원시 의식이 혼미, 반혼수/혼수인 경우 예후가 좋지 않았다. 약물중독 자살환자의 위험군을 파악하여 임상적인 중증도 예측에 도움이되고, 이들에 대한 적절한 약물교육과 더불어 정신적인 지지가 중요하다는 사실을 인지 시키고자 한다.
