0293/2021 - O SUICÍDIO NO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO: COMPARANDO DADOS DA SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA E DA SAÚDE SUICIDE IN THE STATE OF SAO PAULO: COMPARING PUBLIC SAFETY WITH HEALTH DATA
O suicídio afeta pessoas de quase todas as idades e tem elevado custo social e econômico. Sabe-se, porém, que sua ocorrência é subestimada. Objetivo: estudar o suicídio em São Paulo segundo dados da Segurança Pública, comparando com os do Ministério da Saúde (SIM/MS), a fim de mensurar possíveis ganhos de informação. Métodos: foi elaborado um banco (Banco SSP) a partir de planilhas de boletins de ocorrência policial, complementado com informações do Instituto Médico Legal, o qual foi comparado com os dados do SIM/MS. Resultados: O Banco SSP (2.469) mostrou-se 7,5% mais elevado que o SIM/MS (2.297), resultados que se refletiram no sexo e idade das vítimas, mostrando taxas mais elevadas em homens idosos (taxa 12,8 por 100 mil habitantes). Quanto ao meio utilizado, verificou-se predomínio do enforcamento (60,2%); 92,5% de casos não especificados puderam ser esclarecidos, verificando-se aumento nas mortes por intoxicações exógenas (55,7%). O histórico policial permitiu conhecer variáveis consideradas como possíveis fatores de risco para o suicídio, como menção a transtornos mentais (39,4%), outras patologias (5,0%), outros problemas (23,2%) e tentativas anteriores (10,0%). Conclusão: a fonte estudada possibilitou ganho quantitativo e qualitativo em relação ao SIM/MS.
