我们通过对两家二级医院2189名住院患者的前瞻性记录，调查了斯里兰卡农村故意自我中毒的流行病学。许多患者年轻（中位年龄25岁），男性（57%），使用农药（49%）。198人死亡，其中男性156人（病死率12.4%），女性42人（4.5%）。52%的女性死亡年龄在25岁以下；男性死亡在各年龄组之间分布更为均匀。夹竹桃和百草枯在25岁以下人群中造成74%的死亡；此后，有机磷农药造成许多人死亡。尽管自我中毒的年龄模式与工业化国家相似，但病死率却高出1.5倍，致命的自我中毒模式也大不相同。
We investigated the epidemiology of intentional self-poisoning in rural Sri Lanka by prospectively recording 2189 admissions to two secondary hospitals. Many patients were young (median age 25yrs), male (57%), and used pesticides (49%). 198 died, 156 men (case fatality 12.4%) and 42 women (4.5%). 52% of female deaths were in those <25yrs; male deaths were spread more evenly across age groups. Oleander and paraquat caused 74% of deaths in people <25yrs; thereafter organophosphorus pesticides caused many deaths. Although the age-pattern of self-poisoning was similar to industrialised countries, case-fatality was >15 times higher and the pattern of fatal self-poisoning quite different.
