The adjusted risk of suicide varied with the clinical type of alcohol-related admission, andall risks were substantially higher in women (Table 3), (Figs 2 and 3). The highest risks (forfive or more deaths) were associated with admission for ‘toxic effects of alcohol or poisoningby alcohol’ where the risk of suicide was 18-times higher than for those not admitted in menand 30-times higher in women, followed by alcohol use disorder at nearly 10-fold and 24-fold,respectively. Admission with acute alcoholic intoxication was associated with a 5-foldincreased risk of suicide in men and 22-fold increase in women. Among men, the risk associated with alcohol use disorder increased to 10-fold, whereas in women the risk was similar tothe risk associated with acute intoxication.
