  1. Levels of statistical significance: ns = not significant, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001.
  2. SA: Suicide attempt. NSSH: Non-suicidal self-harm.
  3. aData missing for 0–11 patients. Percentages based on valid observations, bF = One-way ANOVA test, cχ2 = Pearson chi square test, dK = Kruskal-Wallis test, ePlanned pairwise comparisons of Group 1 (SA + NSSH) vs Group 2 (SA only) and Group 1 (SA + NSSH) vs Group 3 (NoSA) (Scheffe’s test, Pearson chi square test, Mann–Whitney U test). Only statistically significant differences (p < .05) presented.
